In 2010, she started to get small roles in shorts and indie films.
She started pursuing acting as a profession right when she turned 18, and moved to Los Angeles.

Sprouse was originally cast as Archie, but was drawn to Jughead’s character (viaMarie Claire).
The casting director ultimately gave her the role of Cheryl Blossom (via Marie Claire).
