Alexandra Daddario (born March 16, 1986) is an American actress, known to film audiences as Annabeth Chase in the 2010 film Percy Jackson & the Olympians: The Lightning Thief. Daddario was also in The Squid and the Whale, All My Children, The Babysitters, The Attic, The Hottest State, White Collar, and Bereavement.Daddario was born in New York and was raised in the Upper East Side;[2] her parents are lawyers.[3]
She is of Italian and Czechoslovakian descent.[4]
She wanted to be an actress when she was a child but her first television role did not come about until she was 16 years old, when she booked the role of victimized teen Laurie Lewis on All My Children. At the same time, she was a sophomore attending a traditional girls school in New York. "I was finishing my sophomore year of high school at the Brearley School in New York," Daddario said. "I would not have been able to continue my education there."
Daddario co-starred with Logan Lerman and Brandon T. Jackson in Percy Jackson & the Olympians: The Lightning Thief, the fantasy-adventure movie directed by Chris Columbus, which was released on February 12, 2010. Columbus and Craig Titley adapted the screenplay from The Lightning Thief, the first book of Rick Riordan's best-selling teens' series, Percy Jackson & the Olympians. Daddario plays Annabeth Chase. In 2011, she co-starred in the Farrelly Bros' latest comedy, Hall Pass.CONGRATS ALEXANDRA ON THE OPENING OF PERCY JACKSON! May the world know what we've known for a while now...you're an awesome actress and somebody worth following!
Alexandra Daddario is an actress who recently gained a tremendous amout of attention for signing to play the character Annabeth Chase in Percy Jackson & The Olympians: The Lightning Thief, a Chris Columbus production of the first of the five-volume "Percy Jackson" series by author Rick Riordan. (Full disclosure: we've read all of the books (twice) and loved them all...but Alexandra caught our eyes even before that.) While there has been much angst on the internet with regards to Alexandra not meeting a reader's mind-eye view of Annabeth (she's too old! she's not blonde! she doesn't have grey eyes! Note...good luck finding an appropriate actress with natural grey eyes...), we are confident, based upon years of watching Ms. Daddario, that she will silence all of her critics with her professionalism and talent. In other words, we envision all naysayers shutting up when they see the finished product!
Of course, now that final product has arrived, and let the fun begin! Let us know your thoughts about how Alexandra did in the Percy Jackson movie at the bottom of the about page.
But Alexandra is more that Annabeth Chase. Cutting her acting teeth in the daytime soap All My Children, she has appeared in numerous movies and, recently, a very popular tv ad campaign. Yes, you've seen her around, even if you don't know her name. But soon you will!A guy is walking past an insane asylum when he hears the residents inside chanting, "Thirteen! Thirteen! Thirteen!" Curious, he finds a hole in the wall and looks in. Immediately he's poked in the eye, then everyone inside starts chanting,
When 25-year-old Alexandra Daddario got her first real acting gig at 16, she lacked a few basic skills. "I didn't know where my camera was," she says. "And I was a little bit shy — very shy." As you can see, she got over her shyness (and learned how to find the camera), but when she moved from New York to Los Angeles more than a year ago, there was still one important thing she didn't know how to do: drive. Which meant that for four months, despite starring in a movie that would go on to gross more than $200 million — last year's Percy Jackson & The Olympians: The Lightning Thief — Daddario rode the bus. She's since moved on to better transportation (a Nissan Sentra) and to movies for more mature audiences, like the new Farrelly brothers comedy Hall Pass (out now). In it, she plays a flirtatious babysitter who tries to seduce Owen Wilson. "I sort of cause problems for him," she says, though we can't imagine how. —Mark Mikin
