Daddario studied business at Indiana University before becoming an actor. In his interview with Flaunt, the Cabin Fever actor shared candidly that he followed his elder sister's footsteps into Hollywood with a clear understanding of how tricky it can be to make it.
'It needs to be something that you're doing because you actually love it, because really, your chances of succeeding are near zero, and they're not necessarily based off your skill level,' he said. He took acting classes, got an agent and tried out at auditions, which ultimately paid off.
He's married

Twenty-six years after Noah Wyle was last nominated for an Emmy – for his role as Dr John Carter on NBC's long-running medical drama ER – the actor is back with a chance at a golden trophy. The star and executive producer of The Pitt received a nomination for lead actor in a drama series for his role as Dr Michael 'Robby' Robinavitch.
