Background / History

Daddario began acting young, guest-starring in her first television series at age fifteen. She later dropped out of high school to pursue acting professionally, against her parents' wishes; the resulting conflict left her estranged from her family for two years. Her mother is a former New York prosecutor and current lawyer, her father heads the NYPD Counter-Terrorism Department, and her grandfather served twelve years as a Connecticut congressman. 90

Before meeting Ryan, she was an unknown actress in financial difficulty. She initially overstated her professional activity when Ryan offered her an MV role, but later acknowledged that the exposure of a single music video did not guarantee further acting work. 77 83

Ryan spotted Daddario in the audience at a Jonas Brothers concert and cast her in the Wake Me Up music video. She accepted immediately, received horseback-riding practice for several riding scenes, and filmed in a cowgirl costume at a Tennessee vineyard. 77 82

Taylor had initially assigned Daddario a secret mission to monitor Ryan. During the Wake Me Up shoot, Daddario admitted this to Ryan; he dismissed her before retaining her as a source of information for Taylor. 77 82

Following the shoot, Daddario sought help establishing her acting career. Ryan offered her work as his personal assistant; although she initially rejected the vaguely framed offer, she later became part of his staff, handling schedules, errands, daily arrangements, and eventually nightclub-related duties. 83 84 93 115

Her unsuccessful audition for The Vampire Diaries did not end her acting ambitions. Ryan later considered investing in a vampire-themed series for her, then cast her as Max in his own television production after deciding their existing working relationship outweighed his concerns about her lacking “sparkle.” 87 120 130

During the series' production, Daddario worked opposite Amber in horse-riding scenes. Her performance as Max drew laughter and strong attention during an executive screening, and she subsequently began taking a more active interest in her craft by studying acting, proposing scene choices to Trey, and seeking roles that suited her strengths. 162 164 221

Appearance

Daddario is a tall, curvy actress with a notably full figure. At her first meeting with Ryan, she identified herself as 172 cm tall and weighing 61 kg. 77

• Brown hair, later styled with extensions for her television role to appear voluminous and thick 162
• Large eyes and a gentle, somewhat vacant-looking expression noted by Ryan 87
• Wore jeans, cowboy boots, a cowboy hat, and a thin white hoodie for the Wake Me Up MV 82
• Costumed in layered long sleeves, trousers, knee-high boots, and a jacket as Max, contrasting Amber's more overt “rich girl” styling 162

Personality

Daddario is ambitious but insecure about her place in Hollywood. She is persistent in pursuing acting despite rejection, financial instability, and family opposition, explaining that acting is both what she knows and what she wants to do. 87 90

She initially relies on exaggeration and eagerness to secure opportunities, including overstating her workload and claiming to have an assistant when Ryan first approaches her. Yet she is also practical: she calculates the resale value of promotional headphones, accepts free luxury accessories despite dismissing them as unnecessary, and recognizes the economic value of proximity to Ryan's career. 77 83 120

Her insecurity often manifests as jealousy toward Taylor, whose success, wealth, and closeness with Ryan make Daddario feel like an outsider. Rather than only resenting Taylor, she eventually resolves to improve herself, admitting her acting limitations and working to become more competitive. 93 115 221

Daddario can be unexpectedly capable in social situations. As Ryan's assistant, she diplomatically ended Carly Kloss' attempt to monopolize Ryan's attention, then helped Carly obtain an autograph and photograph with The Ting Tings. 96
