Alexander is a Swedish actor best known for his roles as vampire Eric Northman on the HBO series True Blood, Meekus in Zoolander and Brad Colbert in the HBO miniseries Generation Kill.
Skarsgård was born in Stockholm, Sweden. He is the son of Swedish actor Stellan Skarsgård and his first wife My Skarsgård. He has six younger siblings.
A director friend of his father's gave him his first film role in 1983 when he was seven years old. He played Kalle Nubb in Åke och hans värld (Åke and His World). In 1989 the lead role in the Swedish television production Hunden som log (The Dog That Smiled) made him famous in Sweden at the age of 13. Uncomfortable with being recognized, he quit acting for the next seven years.
At age 19 he applied to do his national service. He served in the Swedish military for 18 months, in a unit that dealt with anti-sabotage and anti-terrorism in the Stockholm archipelago. After completing his service in 1996 he left Sweden and attended Leeds Metropolitan University in England for six months. He enrolled to study English but admits he did not study much and "had a blast" instead.
After seven years away from acting he started considering it again. In 1997 he enrolled in a theater course at Marymount Manhattan College and moved to New York City. He returned to Stockholm after six months but the time he spent studying theater showed him that he wanted to act.
In addition to his father, Skarsgård's brothers Gustaf, Bill and Valter are also actors.
Skarsgård is a fan of Swedish football and supports Hammarby IF, a club based in his birth city. In October 2010, he participated in "Bajen Aid" by donating several items he had autographed and auctioning them off to raise money for the Hammarby football club.
In July 2011, Skarsgård received an honorary degree from Leeds Metropolitan University where he was formerly a student.
From 2009 until 2011 he was in a relationship with Kate Bosworth. By the end of July 2011 both publically confirmed it quits.

Eric Northman one of the badasses vampires from True Blood. He is ruthless and does not care much for human life. His relationship with his progeny, Pam, is where you see the softer side of him come through. When they face difficult challenges and situations, Eric would put her needs above his own. By the middle of season 2 Eric begins to pursue Sookie Stackhouse because of his interest in her abilities, and by the end of season 2 Eric Northman tricks her into drinkin"
 Favorite TV Characters (119 person items)"as Eric Northman
Basically my favorite vampire ever! Eric is the epitome of what a vampire should be! Sexy, bloodthirsty, and powerful! His and Sookie's chemistry is like fire! His confidence is on 100 % all the time! He always surprises me, like the fact that he's bisexual! And he's a freaking Viking prince! What more can I say?"
