Meet The Secret Weapon Of Disney's Biggest Fantasy Franchise

It hasn't been long since the 16-year-old actor auditioned for the role of Percy Jackson, the lead of Rick Riordan's Greek mythology-inspired book series and the Harry Potter to swaths of loyal Zillennials (this writer included). Scobell was only 12 when Riordan hand-picked him to play the Son of Poseidon, but so much has changed since - he starred alongside Ryan Reynolds in The Adam Project, a film that inducted him into the new class of promising young actors; and he's acted opposite Hollywood veterans like Michael Douglas and Owen Wilson. But, most importantly, he's lived up to being the face of Disney's long-awaited, blessedly book-accurate Percy Jackson adaptation.
