daniel Diemer, like many involved with Percy Jackson and the Olympians, was a fan of Rick Riordan’s novels before joining the series. But landing the role of Tyson, Percy’s (Walker Scobell) half-brother and a Cyclops, almost felt like fate.

“When I frist read the books, I was 12 or 13 and became obsessed with Greek and Roman mythology,” Diemer told The Hollywood Reporter on the show’s set in late 2024, during season two filming. “Poseidon became a huge thing for me, and I’ve had this for years.”

“This” refers to a necklace with a trident charm – strikingly similar to the symbol of Poseidon, the father of both Tyson and Percy in the show. “it’s from a movie I did recently[2024’s[2024’sAbsolution, starring Liam Neeson and filmed in late 2022], so it proves I didn’t just get it when I got this job,” Diemer added with a laugh.

Diemer’s necklace is remarkably similar to one Walker Scobell also owns.

“When I met him for the chemistry read, he walked in wearing that necklace. I’d literally bought a silver chain trident from the same company just a month earlier!”
