Talent-to-watch Daddario has been working in the public eye since she was in her mid-teens, with a role as a troubled teenager on seminal soap opera All My Children: a show that, over 41 years of being on the air, started the careers of actors like Christian Slater, Sarah Michelle Gellar, Josh Duhamel, Amanda Seyfried and Rosie ODonnell, amongst many, many others. Her first major film role was as Annabeth Chase, the asskicking love interest of the Percy Jackson film series: she was twenty-four when the first was released and twenty-seven when the second hit cinemas, significantly older than the films star, Logan Lerman, who was six years her junior. With talks regarding a third film fading into nothing, Daddario gambled on leaving the family fare behind for a career-making supporting role in the first season of HBOs weird, elegiac and existential pulp crime thriller True Detective. The show was a phenomenal success, and Daddario would certainly find herself being talked about afterwards: the additional notoriety landed her the part of Dwayne Johnsons daughter in this years hit disaster movie San Andreas, despite the fact that The Rock is only fourteen years older than her. Trending younger than her true age can only work in her favour as she turns thirty next spring: Daddario currently has three lead roles coming up in films awaiting release, including William H. Macys highly anticipated road trip comedy The Layover.
