This year Gavin Leatherwood can be seen starring in Netflix’s hit drama-thriller series “Chilling Adventures of Sabrina,”

opposite Kiernan Shipka and Ross Lynch. The show debuted in 2018 and instantly became a global success, with critics

calling the show “a surprisingly complex interrogation of power” (The Atlantic), “enchanting and relevant… it’s fantastical

and addresses real-world issues” (TV Fanatic) and “‘Sabrina’ is a blast” (New York Times). Bewitchingly stunning and

wickedly spooky, Leatherwood joined the fresh faced cast with just a handful of television and film credits under his belt,

and was instantly catapulted to heartthrob status as handsome warlock Nicholas Scratch (aka Nick), who befriends Sabrina

(Shipka) at the Academy of Unseen Arts under the orders of the Dark Lord. “Chilling Adventures of Sabrina” returned to

Netflix with brand new episodes on January 24, 2020.

Before Leatherwood landed “Chilling Adventures of Sabrina” he honed his craft with a handful of recurring and guest role

appearances in television, appearing on the popular Freeform series “Grown-ish,” as well as CBS’ longstanding drama

series “NCIS,” AwesomenessTV’s “My Dead Ex,” and securing a role in the indie film “#WhenTodayEnds.”

Born in Maui, HI and raised in Orange County, CA, Leatherwood realized his passion for acting as he was growing up,

visiting his mother while she was working as a general manager of a local theatre company. He auditioned for his first

professional play at just six years old: Arthur Miller’s All My Sons. From there, Leatherwood continued to perform on

stage throughout his formative years, landing a role in the national Broadway tour of Peter Pan opposite Cathy Rigby

from 2004-2006, and screenplays such as Elevator at The Coast Playhouse and Joseph

and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat. Upon graduation from high school

Leatherwood submitted himself on small acting gigs and commercials,

and saved up enough money to drive to Los Angeles to pursue his

dream of becoming an actor full time. He remained dedicated to

the craft, immersing himself in classes and studying various

acting methods including Chekhov and Meisner. In 2017 he

began landing his first television credits, and he has been

working ever since.

When Leatherwood is not on set he can be found

exploring the outdoors (nature is his sanctuary), playing

guitar, riding his bike or visiting his family on their

large farm in Oregon. He is also a bit of a social media

maverick, boasting over 2 million followers on Instagram,

and counting. He currently is based in Vancouver, Canada

where he films “Chilling Adventures of Sabrina.”

the bUZZ

“The series has managed to one-up itself in a transformative manner.”

“We also get to see a whole new side of Nick, played by Gavin Leatherwood. It’s Leatherwood’s best and deepest performance yet.”

“The third season of The Chilling Adventure of Sabrina has the advantage of a tight, bingeable format. It’s an eight episode sprint from start to finish.”

“Part 3 is hellishly fun, and it wouldn’t come off half as well as it does without its cast of younger actors who have grown into their roles over the course of the show.”

“I cannot stress how impressed I was with the spiral and eventual survival of complicated playboy Nick Scratch.”

“The cast of Chilling Adventures are more than a match for their heightened surroundings.”

“Chilling Adventures of Sabrina is fast becoming one of the best fantasy series of all time.

“With the entire cast firing on all cylinders, thanks to a story that delves deeper into supporting characters as well as the leads, Chilling Adventures Of Sabrina: Parts 3 hits a grand slam.”

“Viewers are in for a treat as Sabrina, the daughter of Lucifer Morning star goes on the fiery journey to claim her blood right to the throne whilst destroying and saving the realms simultaneously.”

“The third season of many shows is where they hit their stride, and just like Game of Thrones shocked with the Red Wedding, Chilling Adventures of Sabrina doesn’t hold back in its penultimate episode.”

“Despite the constant action, the season still attempts to have substantial character arcs. Nick has to deal with the trauma of what it was like to have been possessed by Satan, which Sabrina is wildly inept at helping him with.”

“Season 3 is off to a strong opening both in terms of plot and character development. It’s dark, funny and all kinds of crazy.”

“Thankfully, The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina is back - and it is better than ever.”

“The character growth of Part 3 is simply put, delicious.”

“Chilling Adventures of Sabrina Season 3 hones in on what makes the show so much fun and amplifies it to its most ridiculous but oh-so- entertaining levels yet.”

some reason.” My first audition was for David Rapaport, and in the notes he included, “Nick Scratch is the most confident guy in the room.” So I tried to walk in with that in mind. Head held high, make eye contact, the whole thing.

What is one piece of advice that you would give your younger self? Just be patient. I feel like I’m still learning that, too. It’s a tough thing, because I was one of those kids who at a very early age would sit and think: How do I do this thing? [Acting] had been a lifelong dream since I was a kid in theater, where I was like, “I really wanna be an actor!” And I still am, you know what I mean? It’s sort of this insatiable thing. There’s no end to it. There’s always this next performance or this next character that you want to be playing, and I feel like if you get too far ahead of yourself, it’s only detrimental to your progress. So just sink in, relax, look at where you are, look at how far you’ve come, and continue learning and growing and progressing in all those ways.

You have 3 million followers on Instagram. What are some practices you adhere to when posting on social media? It’s something that I didn’t really expect or know what to do with at first. I feel like there was a lot of trial and error. The saving grace with me and social media and blending the two worlds of being an actor and having a following was realizing that it’s a beautiful platform for marketing and advertising—to attach something personal that in some positive sense felt more beneficial to people than going in-depth or spreading [negativity] and complaining. It just felt better to promote what’s going on, show bits of personal life, and attach a personal message to it.

Has social media ever been a useful tool in your acting career? As far as that advertising stuff goes, yeah, absolutely. I mean, creative things have popped up from it. I did a spot for Degree; the creatives of that [project] told me, “We saw a video of you being a goofball playing ‘Blackbird’ on your guitar and just belting it out,” and they loved that goofy nature.

How did you first get your SAG-AFTRA card? You know what? This. “Sabrina.” I got my SAG card from doing this.

What was your audition for “Sabrina” like? I connected really strongly with the material. I was like, “I know this character for

If you’re a young actor who wants to be put on the map, you should already know the names Lyndsey Baldasare and David Rapaport. The casting directors behind the CW’s various DC Universe series and “Riverdale” consistently spot the hottest Hollywood up-and-comers—and their “Chilling Adventures of Sabrina” breakout Gavin Leatherwood is just one. The 25-year-old actor recently sat with Backstage to discuss his audition for Netflix and the power of social media.

Backstage 5 with...

“More often than not, in the other people’s lines,

you learn more about your character.”
