Percy Jackson and the Olympians Star Aryan Simhadri: The Magic & Kindness of Disney
Manage episode 393988105 series 2938169
Disney's Percy Jackson and the Olympians star Aryan Simhadri joins The Art of Kindness with Robert Peterpaul to discuss playing Grover, positive moments on set with the cast and more.
Aryan Simhadri is a performer with credits spanning stage and screen. A California native, the talent has been seen in films like Netflix and WWE’s The Main Event and television series such as NBC’s Will & Grace. The big mouse loves Aryan - huh huh! He’s been a part of many Disney projects over the years. Recently including, the Disney+ reboot of “Cheaper By The Dozen” alongside Zach Braff and Gabrielle Union, and Spin, the first Disney Channel Original Movie to feature a Southeast Asian-Indian lead cast.
Aryan also starred in a filmed version of the off-Broadway production of Trevor: The Musical, which was later released on Disney+. He got to flex his improv skills when he was cast on Disney’s “Just Roll With It” and has carved out a vibrant voiceover career, with credits like Disney’s Mira, The Royal Detective.
While we’re on the Disney monorail here, we should probably park to talk about Aryan’s biggest role to date: He plays the ‘Grover’ in the Disney+ series “Percy Jackson and the Olympians,” based on the popular “Percy Jackson” novels by Rick Riordan, which I used to devour growing up. Grover is considered the empathetic “heart of the series,” making him a wonderful character to break down on the AOK.
