Percy Jackson and the Olympians Fansite

The comparison between Harry Potter and Percy Jackson has been everywhere…is “Percy Jackson and The Olympians” the next “Harry Potter?” Who knows…only time will tell, but we do love both. Now the comparisons are stretching beyond the books to the actors, Daniel Radcliffe and Logan Lerman. Logan shares how he feels about getting sized with Teen Vogue.

Logan Lerman gets a little gray in the new issue of Teen Vogue mag.

The 17-year-old actor sat down to chat about his upcoming movie, Percy Jackson, why he got started in acting and being compared to Daniel Radcliffe. Check it:

On how he got the acting bug: “They’re all doctors [my family] and I’m the black sheep. When I was five, I thought auditions were a great way to get out of school! At 12, I landed the TV show Jack & Bobby, and I realized acting was something I wanted to do forever.”

On being compared to Daniel Radcliffe: “I’m being compared to Daniel a lot these days. Honestly, my character [Percy Jackson] doesn’t have much in common with Harry Potter, except that he’s an unlikely hero who’s been thrown into a huge situation.”

On what he did to prep for Percy: “I’ve been studying mythology for months; reading about Perseus, Poseidon, Apollo, Medusa. I don’t know if the movie will reach Twilight levels of obsession, but if it does, I’m ready for it.”
