Alexandra Anna Daddario (born March 16, 1986) is an American actress, known to film audiences for playing 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, It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia, and Bereavement. She starred as the main protagonist Heather Miller in the 2013 horror film Texas Chainsaw 3D.
Daddario was born in New York and was raised on the Upper East Side; her parents are lawyers.
She is of Italian and Czechoslovakian descent.
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 has stated. "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.
Daddario also landed a recurring role on NBC's TV Series Parenthood as Rachel, who serves as a receptionist at The Luncheonette.
She played the main protagonist in the slasher film Texas Chainsaw 3D. The film was about a young woman who travels to Texas, along with her friends, to collect an inheritance; little does she know that an encounter with a chainsaw-wielding maniac is part of the reward. Texas Chainsaw 3D was released in January 2013.
In the end of 2012, Daddario starred in the music video for Imagine Dragons's "Radioactive".
