Apparently, this Alec was casted perfectly. Taller and better looking than Jace but he doesnt know it and he doesnt even bother to fix himself up and use his charm on people. The way Matthew Daddario talks in the show is also kind of how I imagined Alec would talk: tensed and annoyed, not knowing any mundane nuances as if he hasnt talked or said something normal in a while. He also slouches and crumps when he walks akin to how Alec in the books is not as comfortable in his own skin like Jace was. And I love how this Alec only shows emotions around his sister. Also he obviously looks overprotective. The most spot on cast member in my opinion.
I honestly LOVE the way Daddario portrays Alec so far. I think casting him for the role was so perfect & I can't wait to see the rest of the series & how his character grows in the show.
i really hate that so many people only talk about his looks. He's such a good actor and does an amazing job with alec and also in the other films he's done. He seems so lovely and I would really love if people started to value that over his looks.
omg he IS Alec. He thinks just like him. Holy shit I love it I am so happy right now. Love all the cast for Shadowhunters but I think they did an especially good job having Matthew as Alec.
I agree! Aside from the eyes, he looks like I pictured Alec and he seems to have such a deep understanding of the way Alec thinks. I also liked his little slip up when he was talking about malec meeting each other and he said "I see him" instead of Alec sees him. He's just such a great guy and I think he was absolutely perfect for Alec.
So let's make a list, K, who doesn't love lists? TOP TEN REASONS TO FALL IN LOVE WITH MATTHEW HANDSOME DADDARIO 1. His scar above his brow 2. His voice 3. How dorky he is 4. The fact that he likes boots so he has a great sense of style 5.He's italian 6. His smile 7. His beautiful muscles 8. the change in his voice when he talked about the bow and arrow 9.he always has the rune on his neck everywhere 10. that warm feeling he gives you when you look at him.
Tell me the name of the person who was in charge of the casting for this show I need to formally thank that amazingly genius person for casting Matt Daddario as Alec. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU HE IS THE PERFECT ALEC
"...our mundane selves are not quite as good looking or put together as our shadowhunter selves" Oh trust me, Daddario, shadowhunter or not, you're smoking af. Your face is such a distraction in a good way + the height and that smile. Jesus, that smile. 😂😝❤️ I thank God that you exist in this world 😂
He's so precious, his smile when he answered that Alec wud win is everything, my god I love him so much, he's rlly such a beautiful soul. He's such a perfect Alec, cudn't ask for anyone better. I love his scenes.. he has such presence onscreen, it's rlly magnetic to watch and GOOOOOOD WHEN there's scenes bet.him & magnus.. *my heart just flutters*
Matt daddario is such a great Alec. his acting skills are amazing. rewatching all the malec scenes I noticed all the little things extra that might go unnoticed. And omg he's so cute and funny in this interview. he seems like he would be really fun to hang out with in real life
This is still my fave Matt interview to date! love the archery talk, talking bout explaining the terminology to his mum and all things Malec! His smile though 😄. Perfect casting if you ask me 👌🏻
I thought at first, I would hate the show because they usually ruin the storyline. But the show, though it's been changed compared to the book, is amazing. And Matt plays Alec so well. Grumpy Alec from the book is definitely present in the show 💕💕
I know the tv show is a lot different from the books, but isn't change kind of nice? I see it as a cover of a song, or someone's art being redrawn by another person. It's just one thing attempted in different ways.
I LOVE THIS COMMENT THIS SUMS UP EXACTLY HOW I FEEL! I will always love the books, and I loved the movie because it was a different interpretation. And now I love the show because it keeps me on my toes, I don't really know what's gonna happen. THANK YOU FRO THIS COMMENT!
+Jordan Pearson I feel the same way. The best part is that Cassandra helps, so the characters are a bit different, but their core is still the same. If you know what I mean.
I love my Matthew Daddario he is the love of my life 😍😍😘😘 I can’t wait to see him again for S3 !!! I’m missing my Alec Lightwood so freakin much it hurts knowing what his been up too and even what matt is up too
