Biography

Drew Ray Tanner is a Canadian actor who gained recognition as Fangs Fogarty on Riverdale. Born in Victoria, British Columbia, and raised in Aldergrove, he was inspired to enter entertainment by his grandfather's magic tricks. He joined an improv group in eighth and ninth grade, played football, and took the role of John Proctor in a school production of The Crucible. After high school, he declined football scholarships and worked at a tire retread plant while traveling to Vancouver for auditions. In 2015 he tried out for Jughead Jones and Reggie Mantle without success. A 2016 visit to Rocko's Diner, a Riverdale filming location, motivated him to pursue a role there. He auditioned for Sweet Pea and Fangs Fogarty, joining the cast as Fangs in season two, which began airing in 2017. He became a series regular for season five in 2021. He appeared in the Netflix film Work It (2020) and formed the music group These Girls These Boys.
