Alexander Skarsgård ~ Eric Northman
Not comfortable with being a celebrity at such an early age, Alexander decided to quit acting. During almost eight years he turned down every offer he got. Instead he studied Political Science, did his Military service in the Marines and intended to study at an school of architecture in Stockholm. But in 1997 his longing for acting grew to strong and he enrolled at Marymount Theatre School in New York City.
The interest for Alexander Skarsgard outside of Scandinavia has grown rapidly over the last few years, and he has recently signed with the agency Endeavor in Los Angeles and New York and with Markham & Froggatt, Britains most acclaimed agency, to represent him in Europe. He can already be seen in big international movies such as “Zoolander” “The Last Drop” and “Revelations”.
Made his debut in Allan Edwalls award winning drama “Ake och hans varld” in 1983. Worked frequently as a child actor during the 80s and became a huge teenage star when he played “Jojo” in Rumle Hammerichs “Hunden som log” in 1989.
When he came back to Sweden after two years in New York it didnt take him long to land his first part as a grown up (in Christina Olofssons “Happy End” 1999). Since then he has done over fifteen movies in Scandinavia and is today one of Swedens most beloved stage and screen actors.
Did his conscript military service at the Berga Naval Academies as a sergeant (Patrol Leader) with the SakJakt-unit of the Swedish Navy.

Yep, I’m definetly team Eric! Pam’s cool 2.
I really like the new sweet, playful Eric. Bill just needs to get out of the way!
好sex的人啊~
I like him as Mr. Sheriff Eric northman of Area 5….he gave justice to his character…
Alex makes Sweden proud! King!
I hope Alex is not upset that he didn’t win the Battle Of The Fang!
He’s still sweet!
i love true blood Because it’s the most beautiful thing in the world the truth I do not know write in English as So if there is a mistake So, sorry:) So anyway I love Eric (Alexander), the world’s most handsome!
Cant wait to see more of Eric in season 4.
idzie się zakochać . . . mmm Alex
mmm alex is so hot! i realy cant wait to see more of him in the next season and he definitely does Sweden proud
Who cares if he lost Battle Of The Fang, if i had the money i’de buy millions of Eric t-shirt things. He has my vote. I never new he was from Sweden, i thought he was American ha ha. I LOVE him as Eric Northman, i am totally Team Eric. Alex is an amazing actor and Sweden is a very lucky country! I’m really looking forward to Season 4 of True Blood, i hope they keep to the storyline so Eric and Sookie can finally be together without Bill there. Love Alex and Love Eric !! xxx
I hold Alexander Skarsgard personally responsible for my addiction to True Blood. A lot of the male characters are good looking, but Eric’s just plain hunkalicious! Rawr!
Also, I can’t wait for the new season to air, it’s taking them way too long!
I agreed with you, TB with Alexander aka Eric, it’s my only motivation.
I liked his blonde main in True Blood much better than the attempted darker look
Ele é bonito e talentoso!
they’ve been sticking vaguely to the plot in the tv show but they’ve added a lot of extra stuff as well and that just enhances it for someone who’s read the books. Can’t wait to see what they do to eric/alex in the future since they played the maker card early.
I LOVE ALEXANDER SKARSGARD! WHEW! Now that I got that off my chest, I also hold him personally responsible for my addiction to TrueBlood. I unfortunately don’t have HBO on my tv so I begged my aunt to tape it so I can see it! I’m dying for the new season to come out, I think there is going to be a lot more Eric judging from the book, which I know Alan Ball does stray from but still, this book is like ALOT of Eric! I honestly can’t stand Bill and the way he says Sookie’s name irritates me lmao!
Alexander Skarsgard is always the winner in my heart!
KUNG!
He is so HOT!!!!!!!!!!!!
I’m Eric’s and Pam’s fan as well. I would love Sookie end up with Eric at the end,
sex on a stick… sigh
