Apa is from New Zealand, meaning he uses an American accent for his role as Archie. "I didn't 'work on it' – I mean, I worked on it by myself, but it was kind of one of those things that I was able to do," he told Glamour. "I'm lucky in that respect, I think because it means I don't have to focus on it while I'm working, I can just focus on the work." However, there is one word he often stumbles over. "The hardest word for me is girlfriend," he told On Demand Entertainment. "It's a hard one to get for some reason. I know a couple [of] mates of mine who are actors who struggle with that one as well."
