Alexander Skarsgård, the star of HBO’s biggest hit since The Sopranos, talks about his sudden success and having a famous father.
Channel 4 is giving both True Blood and Generation Kill their first airings on terrestrial television on Wednesday, one straight after the other. It’s an odd juxtaposition, because apart from the fact that they are both made by the American cable company HBO, they could scarcely be more different – True Blood, a tale of vampires coming out of the closet in the Deep South, is a fantastical, at times hilarious chunk of modern gothic; Generation Kill, based on real events and people, is a painstakingly realistic seven-part depiction of life for an elite detachment of US Marines in the first phase of the Iraq War.
The one constant between them is the Swedish actor Alexander Skarsgård, 33. He plays a 1,000-year-old Viking vampire in True Blood, and a laconic US marine sergeant in Generation Kill, but he steals the show in both.
Skarsgård’s True Blood character Eric Northman is ‘funny and confident but also lethal’, he says. Eric is more anti-hero than hero – a blood-sucker with an entrepreneurial bent who runs a nightclub, Fangtasia.

I think Alex can be what ever he
wants to do,as he has already proved
that he can.And not very hard on the
eyes either.
There's always a little something new in these interviews. The part about meeting the real Colbert was interesting. I'd like to see him get a good leading part in an action movie. I'm a little worried about this Straw Dogs movie he's doing now, though I'm not worried about his acting. He is just great at that.
