Alexander Skarsgård: Casting cried in the shower
The start of many acting careers is not smooth. How did it work with Alexander Skarsgård?
Swedish actor Alexander Skarsgård does not like to remember the time at the beginning of his career. “I found these experiences terrible,” he said in the podcast “Dinner’s on Me” with Jesse Tyler Ferguson about the castings that he had to do between “Zoolander” (2001) and “Generation Kill” (2008).
It was bad “if you apply for a role for which you are not the right one and to which you have no connection”. But he could not cancel the castings. “I was always about to be fired by my agents.”
Even today, the 48-year-old remembers the feeling of coming to his little apartment in Los Angeles and “crying in the shower after a day”. He felt “dirty in his soul” and had no self -confidence. “I thought I was the worst actor in the world.”
After the series “Generation Kill” and “True Blood”, many appearances followed for Skarsgård, for example in “Big Little Lies”, “The Northman” and “Succession”.
