I hope if that's your dream and you believe in it passionately that you follow it, wherever it leads. You could maybe start with school plays and see what you think of the work. Then college, if you'd like, and more theatre with acting classes--some schools teach film and TV acting as well as standard Theatre. If you find you love acting more than anything else, and if you're good at it, I urge you to pursue your dream and to give it all you've got. If you don't want to go to college, start auditioning for community theatre productions. The more experience you get, the better you'll be. I wish you the absolute best! It's very hard work--very hard--but if it's for you, you'll know it.

There were also humors in the 1st film I loved which kills me 😅, Grover with Medusa's head "Guys, I can't pee with her watching me" and Persephone "What will u do! I'm already in Hell". The books r better, but those humors and 2 others give the movie some pointers. The others r Percy can heal other with water which he doesn't in the books, and Annabeth explains that the Gods r only deadbeat parents cause of one of Zeus's laws.

The director from my understanding also have not worked with kids to this extent that the show meaning that the kid actors don’t have the best sign of direction as let say someone like Christopher Columbus might have(though Columbus has stated to dislike working with kids).

Rick is a sell-out and a hypocrite, seeing as he himself criticizes Alexandra Daddario for not being blond in the OG film. And anyone who says looks don't matter didn't really read the books. Seeing as looks mattered a lot, as each god left distinctive features to their kids. Like crazy smiles from Hermis, stormy gray eyes from Athena, sea-green eyes from Posidion, and so on. The least they could do was CGI or use lenses to give the current actress some mist gray eyes as an indicator that she's the daughter of Athena. As for the blond part, it was part of the character herself, her being blond was why everyone underestimated her intelligence, and she hated that a lot. They really could have made Leah blond and given her storm-grey eyes, and that would have been enough. I don't care if she's black or white, as long as the key features of the character are present. And as for perfect actors, don't know what TV show you were watching, but none of the main cast can act even if their life depended on it. There are no emotions expressed and just looks like a bunch of kids are reciting lines for a school play. The only 2 exceptions are the guy who plays Grover, who is doing a banger job for the character, and the man they picked to be Dionysius, that one acts and perfectly fits for the role.

@@hydragaming4265 why- like why would anyone care? HP is already comparatively divers in the sense that characters of indian or chinese descent attent hogwarts as well as black people. So heritage in that sense is already not important in the story, so it would literally change nothing if Hermione were hispanic (or black or south east asian) for that matter. The only things important to her character are muggle parents who are dentists and other than that her being book smart. Whether her curly hair is important or not you could argue about but the thing with curly hair is that there are enough hispanic, black or south east asian people (just as examples) who have curly hair. So even then it would not matter at all.

Of course Logan and Alexandra support them that is not a shocker to me at least! I also do feel like it would be weird for Logan to be Posiedion but I think majority would love a small cameo, like how Stan Lee did cameo's for his movies. Did the movies do the book justice? Not at all. Nope. But were the movies entertaining and enjoyable as a stand-alone when you separate it's inaccuracy to the book? In my opinion, Yes! The editing for the water when it first healed Percy was really cool and the delivery of “This a pen... This is a PEN!” and "What are you doing? Don't walk on my roof." and others, it was hilarious and the actors did amazing and Logan was a perfect Percy in my opinion, it was just for a lot of people the biggest problem was the fact it didn't really align with the books which made it hard for the acting in the movie to make up for it not matching the books. In short the movies aren't a good adaptation of the amazing books but seperate from that it's an enjoyable alternate version. About this Percy Jackson series we've got now - the casting choices are spectacular! The acting, the writing, the editing, the set and props, the whole production it's looking so freaking amazing and it feels like it's really diving into the book series. So far it's pretty similar to the books, my recollection is kinda fuzzy as it's been years since I've read the start of the series but from I do recall it's being brought to life so freaking beautifully!! Overall: Books, AMAZING! Movies - don't do books justice at all but are ENJOYABLE as stand-alones! The Series so far - BEAUTIFUL! I'm loving it so much and I can't wait for another episode!!

I think we can do a cameo of Logan like this. A monster attacks Percy in public, and Percy pulls out Riptide and changes it into sword. Logan can be clear-sighted or he sort of saw through the mist the moment Percy turned his pen into the sword, and then Logan goes "That was a pen, it was a pen" to himself or his friends played by Alexandra and Brandon (Movie Annabeth and Grover). This also can be a tribute to the line "This is a pen", which is the best lines in the movie.

Also, I felt the whole seriousness and urgency for the quest was lost in 2 sentences of exposition by Chiron… at least, the first movie managed to set the tone for the whole reason of the quest in the scene between Zeus and Posidon at the very start.

@@richmargin6082 so, you think that now, since Rick wrote the book with a different Annabeth, he is forever locked into that choice? Perhaps he wants to explore a different side of the character.

I honestly get dissapointrd on the current series that they didn't stick to the physical description of the characters like Percy, Annabety, Grover and what more. BUUTTT!

Nostalgia is all it is. I will forever love the movies and the action scenes were way better and emotions were displayed better than the show and Grover being older like the movie is better since he is the protector. However, the show despite a few setbacks ended gloriously and Walker is doing his best. If Lerman were to cameo, yes it would be cool but it would feel off at the same time

Hmm ... you know who Logan probably could do justice to later in the series? I think he'd make a great Quintus ... I mean, it would be another four years before we might see that book and Logan with some silver hair is a possibility. It's a long shot ... but of all the future characters, it seems he could really do something with that role. Though it will likely go to someone older ... would still be interesting

@Only-One-Shinobi 2 ай бұрын

When it comes to book character adaptations it’s a touchy subject due to the expectations of those who played them before or the character itself. It’s harsh criticism that comes with that expectation so for the actor/actress the pressure is high. PJO is no exception. It’s never about WHO plays the character it’s about HOW they play the character. Remember that.

Obviously the writer doesn’t want anyone from the movies to be involved in ANY way with the series. So why does everyone think the old cast should have any connection? Stop asking Logan to be involved. The new actors shouldn’t be asking for anything. The direction is that they make the series their own. Forget the cameos, the Poseidon role, the words of advice. Just move on. If you don’t like it then complain to the writer and Disney in the direction they chose.

@eranshachar9954 2 ай бұрын

To be fair in the books, Rick never says directly the skin tone of Annabeth. I wish they have given Leah a blond wig because Annabeth is defiantly supposed to be blond. In terms of what they did in the show to my favorite character from the books, it didn't feel Annabeth for me all the way thru. For example in the last episode, Annabeth is saving Percy from Luke and able to find him. Book readers would know that Annabeth can never raise a blade against Luke, this is a major part of her character arc and they destroyed it. I am happy that the old cast is supportive and I am too. I wish the actors nothing but success and good in their lives, I can only hope characters will act like themselves in future seasons.
