Although the film career of Alexandra Daddario became exponentially popular thanks to the film saga of Percy Jackson, her profile also includes some roles and sequences that helped her land more roles as an actress. An example is the nude scene that she starred in in the first season of True Detectiveregarding which he has a fairly clear opinion formed.
In the first season of the series, which stood out for being a very addictive high-quality serial, Daddario played Lisa Tragnetti, the lover of Marty Hart (Woody Harrelson). Her character left a clear impression on the audience, due to her magnetic performance and the nuances she brought to it.
However, this role also involved entering into certainly compromising scenes, such as a nude that he still remembers. In fact, he does not have bad memories of that moment and even acknowledges that it helped him in his professional career.

Some actresses remember their nude scenes early in their careers negatively and as exploitative, but Daddario sees this experience from a different perspective.
In her own words, the scene was a turning point, opening new doors for her and bringing her talent to a wider audience. Or at least that’s what she declared in an interview with Men’s Journal. The actress admits that she was not fully aware of her attractiveness before True Detective and he talked regarding how this discovery influenced the professional decisions he made from then on.

“I have a lot of mixed feelings regarding this topic, but when it came out True Detective and I appeared naked in the series… It ended up being something huge for my career. The phone kept ringing and I was able to work a little more.”
I don’t think I had been that aware of my sexual attractiveness before that. I tried not to take it too seriously. I really love acting, in my heart I am just a nerd theater, and in a way I took that and said to myself: ‘This is good for my career’ and I accepted it,” said the actress.
The return of ‘True Detective’
After a year of rumors regarding its possible return following three years of hiatus since its last installment, the anthology series was more than ready to return with a new story, new characters and in a very different location from the previous ones: Alaska. It is set on a long winter night in Ennis, when eight men operating the Tsalal Arctic Research Station disappear without a trace.
To solve this new case, detectives Liz Danvers (Foster) and Evangeline Navarro (Reis) face the darkness within themselves and dig into the tormented truths that lie buried beneath the eternal ice.
The complete season is now available in the HBO Max catalog.
