Alexander Skarsgård
Alexander Skarsgård, born in Stockholm in 1976, oscillates between Hollywood blockbusters and indie darlings with a Swedish military stint in between. After early acting years, he re-emerged in Zoolander and cemented his status as a chameleon in Generation Kill. His portrayal of Eric Northman in True Blood secured his place in the supernatural genre, and his nuanced performance as an abusive husband in Big Little Lies garnered him a legion of accolades.
