Alexander Skarsgard
He's the hottest vampire on HBO's hit True Blood, the #1 series on cable. Sweden's (8-time!) Sexiest Man Alive Alexander Skarsgard takes your questions here!

Q: There’s a lot of sex and violence on the show. I was wondering what your feelings are regarding this. Have there been any scenes that made you pause at all?
- A: No, Micah, I did not hesitate at all. I’m Scandinavian, damn it. We love to be naked! It was kind of liberating. I’ve worked on movies before when people come with contracts–20 pages–if you show this nipple from this angle, but not that one. I did not grow up in that kind of movie climate. It’s quite different in Sweden. I don’t mind it all. Nudity is great!

I have an 8 yr old son interested in acting---what do you see as the pros and cons of introducing the craft at such a young age? What motivated you to leave for awhile? And to come back? What would be your advice in guiding him?

Dear Alex,
Since you got the role of Eric, and all the scrpits you have read, is there anything that the Character Eric as taught you?

Alex, you mentioned Mauritius in an interview what could a lady and her love do while visiting there? And if not Mauritius what other places would you suggest??? Oh by the way, I have seen some of your film shorts on YouTube and interviews in Swedish (Sometimes your acting reminds me of a younger Viggo Mortensen who is severely under-rated in certain circles)...I love your character of Eric Northman but I wish you could play him closer to the books. Alan Ball gave Eric's Southern Vampires nobility to Bill on the True Blood series(LOL --those are the breaks). I hope you do have more opportunities to do more work here in the United States but if Sweden calls you home I'll find a way to see what you have out there. :-) Do you have a favorite work out there? If so what has it been?

You are obviosuly related to Stellan who is a fabulous actor. How is it trying to live up to that legacy?
PS You're doing a great job on True Blood.
