00:10 I'm Walker Scobell, and I play Percy Jackson.

00:12 Great. Where do we start?

00:14 When I found out I got the role of Percy,

00:16 I was very excited.

00:18 Well, I just wanted to get on

00:19 because I have some news for you.

00:22 Sir, congratulations.

00:24 You are Percy Jackson.

00:25 You got the part.

00:27 I was also pretty nervous

00:28 because it's a lot of responsibility.

00:30 I don't want to let any of the Percy Jackson fans down.

00:33 I don't want to let myself down

00:34 because I love Percy Jackson.

00:36 Heroes you see here in this room

00:39 are reminders of what we are capable of.

00:43 Walker Scobell has the absolute perfect voice

00:46 for Percy Jackson.

00:47 Rover, why is there half a goat in your pants?

00:49 There was a certain combination of attributes, I think,

00:53 that were almost impossible to know

00:54 what you were looking for until you found it.

00:56 So cool, right?

00:57 He's funny, he's playful,

00:59 he's got a little bit of mischief to him.

01:01 We love you, Bob.

01:02 He came in with the best attitude.

01:03 He worked so hard.

01:05 He pushed himself.

01:06 He was amazing with the stunts.

01:07 He was amazing with the deep emotional scenes.

01:10 He's such a fan of the books.

01:12 He knows that voice intimately,

01:14 and he's got that sharp wit, that heart,

01:17 but also that heroism.

01:19 Two, one, action!

01:21 Getting onto the call

01:23 when we as a team offered Walker the role,

01:26 you know you're talking to a regular 13-year-old kid,

01:30 and knowing everything is gonna change for him

01:32 and for his family and for us.

01:33 And then to see the look on his face

01:35 when he realized that he was gonna be Percy Jackson

01:39 was pretty remarkable.

01:40 We got a lot of work ahead of us,

01:41 but we're gonna have a lot of fun, too.

01:43 We're looking forward to working with you.

01:45 This is Percy Jackson.
