Cole Sprouse also took to social media to share a close-up snap of his pal wearing Jughead's hat. Apa even shared a photo of actor Martin Cummins appearing to get ready for a scene.

As previously reported, Apa, 20, fell asleep at the wheel while driving the 45-minute trip home after midnight following a 16-hour work day. According to The Hollywood Reporter, he allegedly hit a light pole but was unharmed. He was released from the hospital and production on the CW series was not delayed.

"The safety of the cast and crew on all of our productions is of paramount importance to the Studio. Productions adhere to the Screen Actors Guild–mandated turnaround time of 12 hours from wrap time to next day call time for cast members," Warner Bros. told Us Weekly in a statement on Thursday. "In accordance with industry standard policy, if any cast or crew member feels tired or unsafe at any time after working, the Studio will provide a taxi, a driver or a hotel room upon request. This is communicated to all cast and crew, both in writing and verbally, at the beginning of production and is reiterated continuously throughout the duration of production."
