- True Blood (2008 - 2014) If you’re anything like me, you first fell in love with Alexander Skarsgård in HBO’s racy vampire drama, True Blood. Skarsgård plays the moody, bad boy Viking vampire who owns a popular vampire club in the series.
- Kill Your Darlings (2006) Not to be confused with Daniel Radcliffe’s later film of the same name, Kill Your Darlings centers around five very different individuals and their joint journey from Los Angeles to Las Vegas.
- The Legend of Tarzan (2016) While it was kind of hard to get Disney’s animated version of Tarzan and Brendan Fraser’s George of the Jungle out of my head when thinking about shirtless, loincloth-clad men swinging through trees in a jungle, seeing Alexander Skarsgård completely dominate the role of Tarzan in The Legend of Tarzan certainly did the trick.
- The Northman (2022) Alexander Skarsgård is close to his Scandinavian roots in The Northman, in which he plays a Viking prince set on avenging his murdered father.

Passing looks at race relations from a less discussed angle that isn’t often seen in movies: the idea of trying to pass as a different race. Skarsgård shows up in only a few scenes, but they set up one of the messages of the film, and even his casting is part of the message the character is portraying. Skarsgård isn’t intimidating, or scary. He is...
Skarsgård’s role in Long Shotis, again, brief but important. Initially used as a throwaway line to suggest a good-looking partner for the main character, when he ultimately shows up in the film he is ultimately what drives the conclusion of the plot. The entire point of the character he plays here is to seem like a handsome sophisticated but one-no...
Watching Melancholiafeels like taking a sleep aid and then getting punched in the stomach halfway through and then remaining winded for the remaining duration. Skarsgård only shows up for the first half of the film, playing a groom on what should be the happiest day of his life. But that happiness is not to be, as the movies crushing theme of the h...
Godzilla Vs Kongis a good movie. It's nothing amazing, it's not terrible — it's just good. That exact amount of lukewarm is what Skarsgård’s character is in this movie. He’s not great, he’s not memorable, but he’s not terrible either. He just doesn’t bring anything unique to the table for this movie, his role could have been anyone else’s and nothi...
The Diary of a Teenage Girlis an excellent exploration into the mind of a hormone-driven puberty-suffering 15-year-old girl who might be addicted to sex. It’s an awkward subject, but one that is done right here, and is a film that should be recognized and watched at least once. Skarsgård plays the main character’s mom’s boyfriend…and her secret hoo...
Hidden is very similar to A Quiet Place, or 10 Cloverfield Lane, in that the whole movie until the very end takes place in an isolated bunker due to an unknown enemy on the surface that the little girl calls “Breathers.” The movie shows and tells us very little about what these breathers until the end, instead choosing to focus on the relationship ...
Rage. Rage is a difficult thing to sell to an audience, and it isn’t just on an actor, it's on the music, the camera work, and countless other small details. It's also the only reason The Northmanisn’t higher on this list, because while Skarsgård brings all the necessary intensity of a scorned Viking out for revenge, the rest of the movie somewhat ...
If the goal of a movie is to make the audience believe in the story being told and the characters within it, What Maisie Knew manages to do so with flying colors. Some of Skarsgård’s best roles are where he gets to act like a dad, and while he isn’t technically the father here, the feeling of fatherly love and familial bonds is overflowing from thi...
To play the love interest in a movie is simple, but to do so as the main antagonist presents a unique challenge. There are plenty of villains that are easy to hate because their motives are plainly evil as are their actions, or villains that we like because they’re actually good guys in disguise. The Eastchallenges this idea by having the main char...
