Luke was a great actor and he won't be forgotten

[maribelgarcia]

"Luke *is* the kind of person..." I'm not crying

[jamesmcdowell]

Personally, I think Jimmy handled the interview with a lot of heart and class.

[MrSjaved]

Luke was an amazing actor who agrees ?😫❤️❤️

[rubyhammo]

I will definitely miss Luke Perry on Riverdale, he was one of a kind and
he will be greatly missed

[MrMendolito]

I'm not used to hear KJ with his New Zealand accent hehe.

[marissalacharite]

I really wish interviewers would stop asking these young actors about Luke's passing. It clearly makes them all uncomfortable, and I can't imagine how difficult it must be to talk about the passing of someone they were clearly close to.

[A_]

title should be that he “remembers” him or something along those lines, not reacts

[studentfilmed]

Not sure if "Reacts" is the right word for the title...

[marciocouto]

"I wish I could be like that."
"Well, you can."

My respect for Jimmy increased a lot now.

Edit: Wow! Thanks for the likes, people! Hope you'll have a beautiful life!

[Samalhobishi]

Omg his accent. How does he have an American accent in the show, but a New Zealand accent in real life. It must be really hard to keep an American accent while filming.

"reacts to luke perry's death" REACT? That's a very weird way to put it don't you guys think

[elisarrhus]

you can see how much Kj misses Luke and how close they were. and also his voice was shaking... that shit hurt, but it’s good to know what a good person Luke was

[ayeshamahmood]

That clickbait title is extremely disrespectful

[rubigarcia]

He was a dad on camera and off camera we remember you Luke Perry💔😭

[phillipmtambo]

That title is disgusting and the interviewers need to stop asking about Luke's death.

[RandomVideos-zfbr]

I know it’s their job but I still feel like I wouldn’t bring up someone’s death

[haha-qwnq]

I feel bad for these actors. It seems like most interviewers talk about his death like yea they are sad so why bring it up more.
