In addition to his television success, Apa appeared in the 2017 film A Dog’s Purpose as young Ethan Montgomery. Interestingly, the film premiered on the same day that Riverdale aired its first episode.
Later, Apa joined the cast of The Hate U Give, stepping into the role of Chris after the original actor, Kian Lawley, was removed from the project. Apa’s performance in the film demonstrated his versatility beyond teen drama roles.
KJ Apa is the nephew of Michael Jones, a former New Zealand rugby union player and prominent coach. Apa has occasionally spoken about the influence of his family and cultural heritage, including his Samoan roots, on his personal and professional life.
