Dior Goodjohn Talks Percy Jackson Season 2, Clarisse’s Love Interests, Making Music, and Naya Rivera
Dior Goodjohn is an exuberant human with a capital E. Sit her on the couch, she just goes, goes, goes, so it’s not surprising that she’s been modeling and acting since she was in single digits… and now she has her sights set on singing too.
We chat about being raised in West Hollywood, her Iranian roots, and of course her biggest role to date, as the spiky Clarisse La Rue, who’s evolving fast and getting more screen time as Disney’s Percy Jackson & the Olympians heads into season 2 (and 3).
Of course we get the skinny on her landing the coveted role, plus she lifts the lid on what it’s like working at Disney, her early years on Head of the Class, her character’s love life (it’s about to get interesting), why she likens herself to Rick Ross, and her memories playing young Santana on the set of Glee. Aaaaand, a lot more inbetween.
