Percy Jackson and the Olympians: Cast, plot, story and more
Rick Riordan, apparently, wrote the story for his son Haley Riordan’s bedtime stories. However, he later composed it on his son’s advice and turned it into a book series. The storyline revolves around Percy Jackson, a 12-year-old boy who is the son of Poseidon.
Percy is diagnosed with ADHD and dyslexia, something he takes from Riordan’s son, Haley. Percy is on a journey across the United States to return Zeus’ lightning bolt and save the world in the process. The cast includes Walker Scobell in the lead role as Percy, Leah Sava Jeffries as Annabeth Chase, Aryan Simhadri as Grover Underwood, and Lance Reddick as Zeus, to name a few.
