Total Film has made a list of the thirty TV Actors Who Should Do Movies. Alexander Skarsgård came in as #4 and Rutina Wesley was #27 on their list and below is what they had to say:
The Actor: Saucy Scandinavian with a penchant for stripping down to his smalls (and then some) in TV’s so-sexy-its-almost-radioactive (or something) True Blood. As Nordic Eric, Skarsgård steals every scene with his brooding, hurt-puppy face-pulling – will he ever get his mitts on Sookie?
Ideal Project: Skarsgård’s already lined up an appearance in Peter Berg’s Battleship redux (yes, the boardgame), and he likes to hop back to the hemland once in a while for bit parts in Swedish flicks, but we want more from/for the smouldering Swede.
He missed out on the opportunity to play Thor, but Skarsgård is perfect for the superhero mould. Perhaps a role in Chris Nolan’s third and final Batman? Yes, that would do nicely.
The Actor: Basically unknown before True Blood sunk its fangs into her, Wesley plays Tara Thornton in the hit show – and spends much of her time sassing and sobbing. Prior to Blood, she pitched up in an episode of Numb3rs, has voiced a character in The Cleveland Show, and made her acting debut in 2007’s duff drama How She Move.
Ideal Project: Alan Ball has really put Wesley through the wringer on True Blood, giving her a mad-as-two-wasps-stuck-together mother, a doomed romance and all manner of vampire hell. So how about something a little lighter and brighter? Romcoms are below her, but a road trip comedy could do her a world of good.
