This is a point thats often overlooked. People bitch all the time about how fucked up Hollywood is (and rightly so). Part of this stems from how insular it is as a community and industry. Its a lot like politics in this regard. Hollywood people bang and marry other Hollywood people. Their kids get in the business. Their brothers and sisters get in the business. Its a fucking echo chamber. Watch a movie from the 90s or any old Law and Order episodes and you will see kids that look familiar. Most "new stars" have been acting their entire lives and you just didn't notice them. And they are almost always related to someone in Hollywood.

2004. Almost 17 years ago. Look familiar?

You need to watch True Detective S1 on HBO. I cant post it here because... well there are two very large reasons.

You might also know her from the Percy Jackson.

I went into Stranger Things S3 not knowing who Robin was and I was like god dammit she looks really familiar. Well herp de derp, daughter of Ethan Hawke and Uma Thurman. Looks JUST like her mom.

A lot of actors get their starts actually on those shows. Because they basically have new speaking parts every week and need 5-10 new people it's where a lot of famous people get their first air time. I think there's even a Law and Order list of all famous people somewhere and it's fucking huge.

she is a smokeshow, all conversation about her acting is moot.

In regards to Alexandria double daddario, I think a huge piece of it is that the stuff she's in already HAS terrible writing. She was pretty good in true detective, but pretty much everyone was great in that season. Percy Jackson was young adult nonsense, Baywatch was a joke...

I mean obviously she's no Gary oldman, but the stuff she gets casts in are already trash before she even shows up on screen, you know?

I don't know, maybe I'm wrong and I just like boobs ..

Kate Upton and I don't even know who the dude is. Pretty safe bet the writing was terrible and nobody would have looked good.

I don't think anyone is claiming Daddario is some brilliant actress, I think people are just saying you can't really evaluate her too fairly when all the projects she's in have really low ceilings.
