Alexander Skarsgård

Actor Alexander Skarsgard first caught audience's attention with the role of vampire Eric Northman on the series True Blood. Having acted extensively on both the big and small screens in his native Sweden, Skarsgard came from an acting family, as his father, Stellan Skarsgard, was already a famous and respected actor on both sides of the Atlantic by the time Alexander began his professional career. Soon after gaining an English speaking fanbase with True Blood, the young Skarsgard began making waves in film as well, appearing in movies like Melancholia, Trust Me, the remake of Straw Dogs, and What Maisie Knew.
