Alexander Skarsgard: An Actor On The Frontline

This is just part of a very long article...

Quote:

In the more recent HBO series, True Blood, Alexander Skarsgard demonstrates yet again his versatility as an actor when he plays another kind of warrior, this time a 1000-year-old Viking vampire. Based on Charlaine Harris’ Southern Vampire Mysteries, he plays the eponymous Eric Northman, Sheriff of Area 5, with an entrepreneurial streak who opens the nightclub, Fangtasia. According to Alexander, he was initially only a “glorified extra”, often to be found lurking in the shadows of Season 1; however he quickly became a pivotal part of the HBO series, and in Season 2, he is to be found attempting to woo Sookie away from her main squeeze, Vampire Bill. The Viking vampire’s reputation seems to have preceded him because, judging from viewers’ reactions to Alexander’s performance of the cunning, contrary and strangely charismatic Eric Northman and fans’ reactions at Comic-Con in San Diego (2009), viewers just can’t seem to get enough of the Viking in both HBO’s True Blood and Charlaine Harris’ Southern Vampire Mysteries. As Alan Ball recently indicated, one of the fun aspects of the Southern Vampire Mysteries was translating the romantic tension and sexual chemistry between Eric, Sookie and Bill onto True Blood. Now that True Blood has become HBO’s biggest hit since The Sopranos, averaging about 5 million viewers a week in the US, our Viking also appears to be the vampire du jour.

As a testament to the quality of the script and its talented cast of actors, at the recent star-studded Spike TV’s SCREAM Awards (Saturday 17th October, 2009), HBO’s True Blood was honored with four awards. The SCREAM Awards, based on fans voting online for their winners, honors the best in science-fiction, horror, fantasy and comic book inspired movies and TV shows. The popularity of True Blood and the Viking vampire was obvious that night when HBO’s True Blood won awards for the best TV show, Alexander Skarsgard for best villain and co-stars Stephen Moyer and Anna Paquin received awards for best horror actor and actress. Whither True Blood? Well, we all know that Season 2 of True Blood ended on a cliff-hanger involving you know who. But we have also been assured that we can expect to see more of Skarsgard in Season 3. Literally. I think we can safely assume that this fact alone would make a lot of the fangirls out there ecstatic with joy.

And YAY for ASkars!

Thanks.

I'm so excited for season three purely for the fact that we're definitely getting even more Eric. It's about time. I can't wait until they get to the point where he's in every episode multiple times. Because that whole one scene in the finale crap is just not cutting it.

geefull · 10-22-2009, 09:21 PM

the finale was such a letdown

But more Alex in Series 3
