Walker Scobell on Growing Up as Percy Jackson, Season 2’s Physical Turn, and Teasing Kate McKinnon in Season 3

Walker Scobell sits down with Kyle Meredith to talk about jumping back into the role that changed everything as Percy Jackson and the Olympians heads into its bigger, more physical second season on Disney+, opening up about how stepping away between seasons actually made him a better actor, why Season 2 demanded more stunt work and endurance, and how growing up in real time messes with audience perception on a long-gestating effects-heavy show. Along the way he reflects on working opposite Michael Douglas in Looking Through Water, learning on the fly fight choreography scenes that took weeks to shoot only to end up on the cutting room floor, and why improvisation can suddenly become canon. Plus, he teases Season 3 moments with Kate McKinnon that nearly broke him on set, talks about sharing scenes with comedy heavyweights, and explains why sometimes the best prep is just going back to school and being a normal kid for a while.Listen to Walker Scobell chat about all this and more or watch it on YouTube. Please take the time to like, review, and subscribe to KMW wherever you get your podcasts, and keep up to date with all our series by following the Consequence Podcast Network.Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
