Alexander Skarsgard [Actor] - Page 16

I'm currently watching the first season rerun marathon of TB they're playing on HBO Signature .... ASkars hasn't hit his stride yet. At this point in the series, he hadn't even hit me yet (when I first watched it). When they first got rid of his fake hair in the 2nd season, I protested a little ... it was change (and the book Eric has long flowing blonde hair), but now going back and seeing what it was as opposed to what it is now ... damn. Hot, hot, hot. Of course, there is that scene with Eric in Bill's bathtub with the fake hair that I will never, ever forget.

Alexander definitely has a few ... imperfections about his face (we all do), his nose being one of them. But (I say this over and over again) for me it's the totality of the whole package (physical, attitude, confidence, at ease with himself, seemingly very genuine and sincere and kind in interviews/appearances, etc.), so EVERYTHING is yummy.

Yeah, I think it definitely will. I think his talent & his charisma are much bigger factors than his looks. Of course, I usually wind up dating the funnier guys rather than basing relationship choices on looks. Personality counts, baby.

We'll see.

If you lived nearby, I'd loan you my Season 1 so that you could go ahead and fall too. Actually, Season 1 didn't do so much for me as far as Skarsgard goes.

Hell, I prefer imperfect people. In real life (other than myself), I really don't know perfect people with perfect looks.

Mel, I agree with everything you're saying!

As to the bolded part, I recommend going to YouTube and watching all of the "Best of Eric Northman" vids in order. Slowly but surely, his incredible charisma and acting skills hit you and you can't believe what you're seeing! I've put most of the vids together on the True Blood thread up to season two episode 7. All you need to do is find the vids for season 2 eps 8-12:

DeadDwarf · November 6th, 2009, 03:18 AM

I saw this interview on JustJared tonight and thought I would post it here. I know how much you love Alexander!

There's also pics at the link, not sure if they are new.

Alexander Skarsgard Interview — JustJared.com Exclusive

Alexander Skarsgard joins co-stars Sam Trammell, Michelle Forbes and Rutina Wesley at the premiere of their HBO vampire series True Blood at Max Linder Cinema on Thursday (November 5) in Paris, France.

The 33-year-old actor was just in Sweden to re-shoot scenes for his new movie, Puss. Two weeks ago at an event in New York City, Alexander spoke to JustJared.com exclusively. Check it:

JJ: Tell us about your character in Straw Dogs.
AS: I play a guy named Charlie who’s a guy from Mississippi who was a big star when he was younger — the quarterback of the football team. He was dating Kate Bosworth’s character, who was the cheerleader — the hottest girl in school — and everything was perfect. He had the best life and people were, like, “You’re going to play in the NFL someday!” And then he got injured and nothing really happened for him.
The movie starts later [in Charlie's life] and he’s in his late twenties — he’s gotten bitter in a way. And [Kate's character] comes back with her new boyfriend (James Marsden), who’s a Hollywood screenwriter. The movie’s about the dynamic between the three of them when they come back, how Charlie reacts to that. He wants her back…

JJ: What was it like working with Kate?
AS: I love Kate. She’s amazing - she’s going to be amazing in this movie. It’s a really tough part, but she did a great job - she’s a very good friend of mine.
(Click inside to continue reading JustJared.com’s interview with Alexander Skarsgard…)

JJ: What was your favorite part about working on the movie?
AS: Working with those people - Jimmy Marsden, who plays the screenwriter, is a fantastic guy and Rhys Coiro

and Drew Powell and Billy Lush, I’d worked with on Generation Kill. They played my buddies. And the entire crew - it was just an amazing experience, and Rod Lurie, the director, is a fantastic director.

JJ: I saw pictures of you and the cast going to a Britney Spears concert!
AS: Yeah! (laughs)

JJ: Are you a Britney fan?
AS: No! They gave us tickets and it was a Saturday night. There’s not a whole lot going on in Shreveport (Louisiana). So if something happens, we’re all, like, “Yeah, let’s do it!” We went to a bunch of different concerts and whatever was in town, we went to see, basically.

JJ: Did you get to see Sienna Miller’s After Miss Julie?
AS: I came in too late! I flew in from L.A. the same day, so I didn’t make it. But I’m from Sweden and it’s written by August Strindberg, who’s an author from Sweden, so I’d love to see it.

JJ: Have you ever seen any musicals or Broadway shows while you’ve been here in NYC?
AS: I’m actually not a huge musical fan. I prefer plays in general. I’ve seen Hair - I love that ’cause I love the music in that one.

JJ: Would you ever try your hand at Broadway?
AS: I want to do more plays, definitely. That’s what I did when I was in Sweden - I did a lot of stage work. So I like to go back and forth between movies, television and stage. I think that keeps me motivated as an actor and keeps me on my toes, so I definitely want to do more theater. I did plays like Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf? only they were in Swedish ’cause I was in Stockholm.

JJ: When do you return to the set of True Blood?
AS: I go back to Sweden now to finish this Swedish movie and then in November, I fly back to L.A. and we start preppin’ and then early December, we start True Blood again.

JJ: Do you celebrate Halloween?
AS: I’ll be in Sweden working on Halloween, so that’s probably good because otherwise, people are going to expect me to dress up as Eric and I’d rather flee the country! (laughs)

JJ: Are you over the vampire craze yet?
AS: No, I love it. I can’t say that I’m up-to-date on the other shows - I know there are plenty of shows out there, but I’m having a great time on our show and I’m very excited to go back to working with the crew and the cast again. They’re kind of my family now, so I definitely miss them. I’m excited to start again and it’s going to be a fun season.

JJ: Evan Rachel Wood is here [at this event too]. What was it like working with her?
AS: Evan is amazing. She’s the sweetest girl and a fantastic actress. It’s fun - it’s going to be a great season.

JJ: You work with all great actors!
AS: I know! I’m blessed.

For some reason I found this funny. Makes it sound like they're giving away Britney Spears concert tickets to fill seats.

It's like they've gone through serial factory production. You could also fry a egg on this guy's forehead. It's so greasy.

Ok...I need directions right now..where do I find that average Joe from the nearbt Polish colony?!!

fuckable librarian.

MrsDark · November 8th, 2009, 12:03 PM

I'd take him behind the stacks...

laurenshelton2 · November 8th, 2009, 02:05 PM

OK, I love him, but... he looks like he's wearing a full face of makeup. Foundation, blusher, mascara, lipstick...

Cupcakey · November 8th, 2009, 07:41 PM

He can be my librarian anytime!

DeadDwarf · November 8th, 2009, 08:02 PM

I actually think the outfit is hot and Alexander isn't even my type. LOL

I have been trying to talk my husband into getting nerdy glasses and dressing up like like a dorky librarian. He said no, but I am still working on it. I think the dork look is kind of hot and my husband is already hot, so he would look really sexy!
