Mr. D – short for Dionysus – is a character in Percy Jackson and the Olympians on Disney+ based on the novels by Rick Riordan. Dionysus is the Greek god of wine. As punishment for going after his favorite wood nymph, Zeus punishes his son to be the camp director at Camp Half Blood for one-hundred years. He’s pretty miserable, especially because he’s forbidden to drink wine…doomed to only drink Diet Coke. In the live action series, Jason Mantzoukas portrays Mr. D with spot-on sarcasm and humor.
