Alexander Skarsgard

Son of the top-notched Swedish actor Stellan Skarsgard, Alexander is also a famous actor in his own right. He is the eldest of all his siblings, hence was the first among them to have tried a hand in acting. At the early age of 7, Alexander started his career in entertainment and became famous in Sweden by the age of 13 for his role in the Swedish TV production, Hunden Som Log (The Dog That Smiled).

However, he stopped acting only to consider it again after several years because of his discomfort with fame. In 1997 Alexander Skarsgard decided to take a crash course in Theatre at Marymount Manhattan College, and after six months, he returned to Stockholm and landed acting jobs. To his credit, he’s appeared in a lot of TV and films both in Sweden and America, for instance starring in What Maisie Knew with Julianne Moore.
