"Alexander Skarsgård is a really, really nice man. A Swede through and through, Alexander, or Alex, is a very down-to-earth gentleman who could definitely act as more of a big shot, considering he is also one of the most interesting actors in Hollywood right now, a town that, in true Swedish style, he once defined as “kind of silly”. After getting his first big break as the lead in David Simon’s excellent Iraq War mini-series for HBO, 'Generation Kill', Skarsgård exploded in our collective imaginations as Eric Northman in 'True Blood', while also acting for Lars von Trier in the wonderful 'Melancholia'.

Since then, he has been a very buff Tarzan in 'The Legend of Tarzan', a mute bartender in future Berlin in 'Mute', a very dark killer in 'Hold the Dark', and a hilarious Canadian Prime Minister in 'Long Shot', as well as giving an Emmy- and Golden Globe-winning turn in HBO’s 'Big Little Lies'. The self-defined “restless” 43-year-old is set to star in 'The Northman', Robert Eggers’s highly anticipated third film, a “Viking revenge story” that Skarsgård himself was crucial in bringing to production – and, by all accounts, it seems like it could have all the right pieces to become a future cult classic. It certainly has that kind of hype."
