LAW IN ORDER

Riverdale’s Hayley Law is the happiest workaholic we know

-

If you’ve ever complained about being too busy, consider actress and musician Hayley Law’s schedule. The Canadian native, 25, has only been in the biz for two years and already has two Netflix shows (she plays Valerie on Riverdale and Lizzie in Altered Carbon), two movies (sci-fi fantasy flick Spontaneou­s, with Katherine Langford and Charlie Plummer, and rom-com The New Romantic) and a music career on her resumé.

As if we needed any more confirmati­on she’s a woman after our own heart, after bidding farewell to the Spontaneou­s crew, she also made sure to say goodbye to... the catering department. “I did a little drivethrou­gh,” she says. “I’d never had devilled eggs before, and they are so good.” Here are more reasons to love her:

SHE’S A JILL OF ALL TRADES

Before making the leap to acting, Law “literally worked everywhere”. “There was a running joke when we were shooting Riverdale. Whenever we went for dinner, they’d ask, ‘Hayley, have you worked here?’ The weirdest job I had was working at a deli. It was so not my thing.”

Aside from a Mcdonald’s commercial, Riverdale was the first acting job Law booked. “I was surprised. I thought it was only a two-episode thing, and they were like, ‘No, this is the real deal.’”

SHE’S A FEMINIST

She loved working with Altered Carbon creator Laeta Kalogridis. “[When I work with female producers and directors], as soon as I step on set, there’s an instant ‘Hell ya’ connection.”

SHE HAS A SIDE HUSTLE

She released a synth-y R&B EP, Hayleau, in 2016 and is working on a follow-up.
