Alexander Skarsgård talks to Premiere.FR about his role of Eric Northman in True Blood and how he sees his character.
It looks like we might have more flashbacks in S3 since he discusses that since his character is over 1,000 years old that a lot that can be done to explore his past. He also talks about S2, episode 1 when he did a particularly gruesome scene in the basement of Fangatasia and how much he enjoyed that opportunity to really “let go” with his character.
It always amazes me how he sounds like a native English-speaker. He has a perfect west coast U.S. accent, which is what we here in the west call “no accent”.
His way of expressing himself is so relaxed yet alert. He doesn’t seem at all worried about being interviewed and just flows. Nice.

This was a great interview. He seemed like a little kid in a candy store. I loved it.
