A new reson to watch HBO "True Blood": Alexander Skarsgard

[alexandral]

OMPH! I was informed by fabulous the_grynne and fabulous endlessdeep that the role of Eric is NOT missing from HBO's "True Blood" (TV adaptation of "Southern Vampire" book series). On a contrary, it is played by "all your dreams come true at once" Alexander Skarsgard. Who is Scandinavian, good looking to a crazy degree and 6ft 4 inches tall.














PS: Does anyone know any film he is in? Is he any good at acting?

Have you read all of the books? I started on book one and gave up after a few chapters so I have no clue what happens later on in the series.

YEP, in a very fast manner, skipping a lot of things I didn't like (and I didn't like many things about these books). But as it happens sometimes, i thought the best books start after the 4th one.
I got hooked on the character of Eric-the-Vampire-Sheriff (see the guy above) so I mostly was reading scenes involving him. I don't think you have met him - I think he appears somewhere in the middle of the first book.

Vampire...sheriff? Okay.

And no, I didn't get to the middle, so I have no clue who Eric is. I barely got up to a fifth of the book.

But I have seen the True Blood pilot and think the series will be smutty fun. I am very happy about that.

And I love Anna Paquin, so yay.

They have some kind of Vampire government thing going and Eric is the area leader (or Sheriff).

Oh, yes! And I still hope it will last long enough to get to the parts where Eric becomes one of the main characters.

I don't know why vampire series always get canceled. I mean they can get to be cheesy and lame, but that's no excuse. Look at how many years Seventh Heaven was on the air for.

Me too. The pictures you posted of him were pure eye-candy. There is never too much eye candy. Never.

Hee! Angel and Buffy lasted 12 years between them! And may be because I am watching them both for the first time now, a few years after the release, I don't find neither of them brilliant. There are good points about these shows but they will never be among my favourites.
