A career across changing worlds

Alexander Skarsgård was born in Stockholm, Sweden, on 25 August 1976. His acting career spans Swedish and international productions, television and cinema.

A role as vampire Eric Northman in True Blood introduced him to a broad television audience. The character gave the series a magnetic presence amid its blend of supernatural conflict and dark humour.

In Big Little Lies, he played Perry Wright, a role that won him an Emmy and a Golden Globe. The drama follows relationships in a coastal community, with Perry’s story exposing violence behind the appearance of a comfortable marriage.

Wicker (2026) takes him into a different kind of fantasy: he plays a husband woven from wicker for a fisherwoman, portrayed by Olivia Colman. The role is part of a fairy tale about companionship and the reactions of their village.
