Tall Boy

Tall Boy is the stand in leader of the Southside Serpents and an anti-villain in Riverdale.

He was portrayed by Scott McNeil.

History
After FP Jones' arrest Tall Boy became the acting leader for the Southside Serpents and welcomed Jughead Jones into the gang with open arms. While initially not accepting Jughead did usually go to Tall Boy when he searched for guidance to which Tall Boy would happily give.

He and the rest of the gang helped out Jughead on various things including his search for the Black Hood and hiring the lawyer Penny Peabody in order to help lessen FP's sentence.

Shortly before being forced apart from Betty Cooper by Black Hood, Jughead joined the Southside Serpents and was put through the various trials involving becoming a serpent. After completing all of the trials Tall Boy, Sweet Pea, Toni Topaz and other serpents congratulated Jughead and were happy that he finally joined them.
