it is my pleasure to introduce you to Alexander Skarsgård

Alexander Skarsgård is an actor you need to take notice of now! not only is he incredibly talented, and captivating to watch on screen, but he was born to act (his father is Sweden's most famous actor ever Stellan Skarsgard.) if you have HBO you've probably seen him in the previews for "Generation Kill" where he played Brad"Iceman" Colbert, to amazing effect and even better reviews. he's also in the new Alan Ball show "True Blood." though his most famous role for American audiences is Meekus in "Zoolander".
anyway Alexander is definitely an actor to look out for in the coming years. he was fantastic in "Generation Kill" and will most likely be just as great or better in "True Blood" once his episodes start to air this Sunday.

this is an HBO interview with Alexander on the set of "Generation Kill" and with the real Brad Colbert. if you listen closely you can hear his English slip a little, which would be the only giveaway that he's actually Swedish.



i wish i spoke Swedish so i knew wtf was going on in this scene, that lead to him getting on stage and singing like Barry Gibb. it's pretty ridiculous and entertaining, and the highlight of it all is at 3:21.



oh and did i mention he was voted the sexiest man in Sweden in 1999. that's completely irrelevant but very entertaining...and believable.
