      At some point, I just couldn’t continue watching big little lies because it’s so disturbing yet good. The twisted love and abusive relationship are just too much to take down. I was afraid that one day Celeste would get herself killed but still loves Perry. It’s terrifying when watching all the violent scenes. But man, they portrait such real characters that can connect with the audiences.

      he had a voice coach in True Blood and he was supposed to sound southern. first he was going to have a skandinavian accent but they figured that since Eric Northman had been living there for so long it would be weird if he still had that accent. guess the southern accent stuck since it´s not his native language.

    Found Alex after watching True Blood. He was perfect as Eric Northman. Melancholia is amazing, as was Generation Kill. I've enjoyed every role he's played. Big Little Lies is next on my watchlist and I'm psyched for The Little Drummer Girl. "Thank God for the Writer's Strike". Probably the first time I've heard this sentiment, haha.

    I *love* “The Legend of Tarzan”. ❤️ It’s a criminally underrated gem in my opinion - no other movie explores that future (all the other Tarzan movies and tv series either show the _origin story_ or start with Tarzan and Jane living in the jungle….nothing like that happens in the book either if I recall well), so we get a completely new side of Tarzan while the essence of the character is still being beautifully kept and shown. Alexander Skarsgård, Samuel L. Jackson, Margot Robbie, Christop Waltz and all the cast do an incredibly marvelous job….it really deserved to be watched. 💖

      Well, it either took him 3 years to book his next job in Hollywood when he moved there after making Zoolander, or it didn't. That's actually verifiable with dates, etc. So not much scope for exaggeration.
      And actually many, many, many talented people never ever make it. If you were in the performing arts field, you'd know that. There are so many talented people out there. You have to be lucky too.

      @@Sarchina Alexander Skarsgård was known in Sweden for people interested in movies and had had some roles before his Hollywood career, but to say he was "very famous" is a serious exaggeration. His dad though, very very famous. Alexander, not as much. Most people probably just knew him through his dad. He didn't even have any big roles in any big Swedish movies. He did a bunch of episodes in a low key soap opera in the late 90s called White Lies (Vita Lögner) and then a few forgettable films like Wings of Glass. He was mostly known as a pretty boy.
