Disney+ has cast Tamara Smart as Thalia Grace, the daughter of Zeus in "Percy Jackson and the Olympians." She will be a recurring guest star throughout the season.
Thalia is the Demigod daughter of Zeus who made her last stand to protect her friends at the edge of Camp Half-Blood. Rather than let her die, Zeus transformed her into a tree that anchors the force field that protects camp.
Riordan commented on the casting. "Thalia Grace is one of the most important characters in the Percy Jackson universe, so the right casting was critical. As soon as we saw Tamara Smart play this role, we knew we had found our daughter of Zeus. She was, no pun intended, electric. Tamara puts the 'grace' in Thalia Grace!"
Smart has previously worked alongside the late Lance Reddick, who portrayed Zeus in season one. She shared what it meant to take on this role: "It's so close to my heart. Lance Reddick and I always spoke about working together again, so it's that much more special and important to me to play his daughter once more as Thalia."
