Stephen Moyer tells how the writers of “True Blood” put in little details of their lives in the HBO series. Also, he talks about Bill’s new role as the vampire king of Louisiana. Plus, is it weird watching his wife, Anna Paquin, get together with another man on the show?

Start calling Alexander Skarsgård doctor as he just received a honorary doctorate from the University of Leeds, but why is his family giving him grief over it? Also, he tells how much fun he’s having to play an amnesiac Eric in “True Blood.”

True Blood’s Alexander Skarsgård sat down with Michael Ausiello at Comic Con 2011 today and talks about his 4 years of playing Eric and the Eric-Sookie relationsihp

Will they or won’t they? Or perhaps more importantly, when will they? That’s the question that fans of HBO’s True Blood often wonder about the complicated relationship between Alexander Skarsgard’s Eric Northman and series heroine Sookie Stackhouse. But a caveat for fans of Charlaine Harris’ novels: Skarsgard says just because you’ve read the infamous Book 4 doesn’t mean you know how Season 4 of HBO’s smash hit series will play out. The Swedish heartthrob sat down with TVLine’s Michael Ausiello at our Comic-Con interview suite to discuss the Eric-Sookie dynamic, the experience of interacting with rabid fans, and the importance of maintaining his character’s integrity in Season 4 — despite a pesky spell that’s wreaked havoc on his personality.

True Blood’s Alexander Skarsgård almost gave up acting after being a child actor because he didn’t like all of the attention.  However, while attending Leeds University in England, way before he was famous, his acting interest was rekindled.  Aren’t we all glad that Leeds gave him such inspiration to continue?  Congratulations to Alexander who has now received an honorary doctorate from his alma mater.

Yesterday, he returned to Leeds for this very special honor where he received the honorary doctorate degree from the prestigious institution, and looked thrilled at the gesture. And though he’s rich and famous now, it sounds like Alex still has fond memories of his university days.

Skarsgårdtold press, “I had a blast. People were super-friendly and I had a great time. I still support Leeds United.”

Below is a video of Alex accepting  his honorary doctorate and an interview with him:

And, below are photos of him with his degree:

Yesterday, it was announced that True Blood’s Alexander Skarsgård would be starring and producing a major Viking epic called, The Vanguard.

Also, a while back it was announced that Mel Gibson was working on an epic Viking movie starring Leonardo DiCaprio. After the Mel Gibson scandal came to light, DiCaprio pulled out of the movie and not much has been heard about it since then.

After yesterday’s announcement about Alexander, people started to speculate that this was the same movie that Mel Gibson had been working on… It’s not. It’s a completely different movie and has no connection with Mel Gibson whatsoever and a lot of websites are getting this confused.

When you read this quote from this source, you can see why there is confusion:

“Then I read the fine print. Yes, this epic—or saga, given its Norse subject matter—will likely involve three hours of the unbearable hotness of Skarsgard, but it will  be under the direction of Mel “Sugartits” Gibson. ”

So, please know that this is a completely different movie with no connection whatsoever to Mel Gibson’s movie.

Paging Dr. Skarsgård…

Alexander will receive honorary degrees from the Leeds Metropolitan University as part of the University summer graduations this month.

Before becoming an actor, Alexander studied English at Leeds Metropolitan, renting a basement flat on Otley Road, before moving to a New York theatre school.

You can read the complete press release here.

“True Blood’s” Alexander Skarsgård will star in a Viking epic tentatively titled “The Vanguard” for Warner Bros., according to Variety.

The project includes acclaimed playwright Chris Boal who is set to write the script. Story follows the adventures of two Viking warrior brothers who embark on a journey to return to Sweden after being banished to North America.

Jon Berg and Chris Gary will oversee the project for WB.

Additional story details are being kept under wraps, but the project, being eyed as a potential tentpole for Warner Brothers, will be in the vein of Best Picture winners “Gladiator” and “Braveheart.”

Charles Roven and Richard Suckle will produce for Atlas, whose young execs Andy Horwitz and Jake Kurily brought the project in and will also be involved in some producer capacity. Skarsgård will make his producing debut with “Vanguard,” signaling his rise in stature following his starring turns in Universal’s “Battleship,” Screen Gems’ “Straw Dogs” remake and Lars von Trier’s “Melancholia.”
