Auditions in Portland Oregon for Percy Jackson Web Series

Percy Jackson web-series

Location: Portland, OR and surrounding areas

Type: Video

I’m currently casting for an 11 episode Percy Jackson web-series, based on the Percy Jackson and the Olympians series by Rick Riordan. The series is about a boy named Percy Jackson, who finds out he is a son of Poseidon, and his demigod friends as they embark on dangerous quests and battle the evil forces of Kronos’s army. Listed below are the lead roles, however, this series will require having a lot of extras. Casting calls for them will be posted separately. It’s preferred that the actors live in Portland, OR and the surrounding areas, but as long as all actors have transportation to each film shoot and rehearsal, actors from farther cities will be considered.

If you see a role you’d like to audition for but you don’t meet the eye/hair color requirements exactly, still feel free to send in an audition; that won’t stop you from being considered, however, actors matching the character’s appearance will be considered first. Age is not as big of a deal- if you can look and act the age, you will be considered.

-This series is being made out of love for the books and filmmaking. This series will air on YouTube in May, 2017.
