Private Bingo was a character on the CW series “Riverdale,” which aired from 2017-2018. He was played by Kane Hodder, and he was a member of the Southside Serpents gang.
In the series, Private Bingo is one of the most powerful and feared gangsters in Riverdale. He is also a major player in the show’s plotlines, and his interactions with other characters are often critical to the story arcs.
Private Bingo was first introduced as a minor character in the first season of “Riverdale.” He is seen at a party hosted by Hiram Lodge, where he is meeting with other gangsters to discuss business.
Although he does not appear again until later in the season, his presence is felt as he orders members of the Southside Serpents to kill Archie Andrews (KJ Apa).
In subsequent seasons, Private Bingo plays an important role in several key plotlines. He is involved in a rivalry with Mr. Kettleman (guest star John Kassir), and his gangsters are often called upon to do Mr. Kettleman’s dirty work.
In addition, Private Bingo clashes with Jughead Jones (Cole Sprouse) on several occasions, most notably when Jughead threatens to expose Private Bingo’s involvement in the murder of Mr. Kettleman’s son.
Private Bingo is also involved in larger plotlines involving Riverdale’s other gangs. He is close friends with Chuck Schuler (Nolan North), and their alliance helps them take down rival gangs such as the Southside Serpents and the Westside Serpents.
In the finale of season 2, Private Bingo is finally arrested after years of evading justice.
Although Private Bingo only appeared in three seasons of “Riverdale,” his character was well-developed and his interactions with other characters were critical to many important story arcs. Kane Hodder gave an excellent performance as Private Bingo, and he was definitely one of show’s most compelling characters.
His death at the hands of Jughead Jones was particularly poignant, and it will be interesting to see how his storylines will be explored in future seasons of “Riverdale.”.
