Mr. Eckhart accepted induction into the Vandenberg Air Force Base Exchange Hall of Fame, receiving his Star on the Walk.

Also on Saturday, February 27th, actress Angela Bassett – who reprises her role of Secret Service Director Lynne Jacobs in London Has Fallen – visited Norfolk, Virginia’s Naval Amphibious Base Little Creek to meet naval officers and units, and give them an advance preview of the film. Ms. Bassett accepted over 200 mini-posters for her signature, and autographed them all.

15 more bases were given special preview screenings of the movie. Extending the salute overseas on Saturday, February 27th, a screening of London Has Fallen was held for U.S. Army troops stationed at Camp Arifjan in Kuwait.

 in Hall H at San Diego Comic-Con, Rick Riordan and Disney+ revealed that Daniel Diemer (“Under the Bridge”) will star as fan-favorite cyclops “Tyson” in the epic adventure series “Percy Jackson and the Olympians.” Diemer joins Walker Scobell (Percy Jackson), Leah Sava Jeffries (Annabeth Chase) and Aryan Simhadri (Grover Underwood) as a series regular. The Disney+ Original series from Disney Branded Television and 20th Television will start filming its second season next week in Vancouver.

Season two of “Percy Jackson and the Olympians” is based on the second installment of Disney Hyperion’s best-selling book series titled “The Sea of Monsters” by award-winning author Rick Riordan.

Percy’s journey to set things right will take him off the map and into the deadly Sea of Monsters, where a secret fate awaits the son of Poseidon.

Diemer stars as Tyson – a young Cyclops who grew up all alone on the streets, and finds it difficult to survive in the human world.  Shy and awkward, with a heart almost as big as he is, Tyson soon discovers that Poseidon is his father, which means Percy Jackson is his half-brother… and that Tyson may have finally found a home. 

Diemer recently starred in the Hulu limited series “Under the Bridge” based off the critically acclaimed book of the same name and a tragic true story of a missing teen girl in Vancouver in 1997.
