Александр Скарсгард

biography:
Шведский актёр, кинорежиссёр и сценарист. Лауреат премий «Эмми», «Золотой глобус», Critics’ Choice Movie Awards и «Премия Гильдии киноактёров США» за лучшую мужскую роль второго плана в сериале «Большая маленькая ложь». Наиболее известен по фильмам: «Соломенные псы» (2011), «Меланхолия» (2011), «Развод в большом городе» (2012), «Связи нет» (2012), Группировка «Восток» (2013), «Дневник девочки-подростка» (2015), «Тарзан. Легенда» (2016), «Война против всех» (2016). А также по ролям в сериалах: «Поколение убийц» (2008), «Настоящая кровь» (2008—2014) и «Большая маленькая ложь» (2017).

Александр Скарсгорд родился 25 августа 1976 года в Стокгольме (Швеция). Его мать — Мю Гюнтер (My Guenther) — врач, а отец — известный шведский актёр Стеллан Скарсгорд. У Александра Скарсгорда четыре брата — Густаф (1980), Билл (1990), которые также являются актёрами, Сэм (1982), Вальтер (1995), сестра Эия (1992), двое единокровных братьев — Оссиан (2009) и Кольбейн (2012).

Сниматься Александр начал в раннем возрасте, с 8 лет. Его первой работой стала картина «Оке и его мир». В 1989 году понял, что такая известная жизнь не для него. В столь юном возрасте его не прельщало внимание папарацци и прохожих на улице. Поэтому он захотел изучать архитектуру в Стокгольме. В этот момент он прервал свою актёрскую работу.

Спустя годы Скарсгорд поступил в колледж по направлению политологии. В 19 лет отправился проходить срочную службу (швед. lumpen) в Военно-морские силы Швеции, где 15 месяцев служил в антитеррористическом и противодиверсионном отряде на военно-морской базе Берга (швед. Berga örlogsskolor) в Стокгольмском архипелаге.

Размышляя над своей жизнью на службе, Александр решил вновь заняться актёрской работой. В 1996 году он отправился в Великобританию в город Лидс. Там он поступил в Городской университет Лидса по направлению изучения английского языка.

В 1997 году переехал в США в Нью-Йорк, где занимался на курсах актёрского мастерства в колледже «Мэримаунт Манхэттан», однако вскоре вернулся на Родину. 20 июля 2011 года он окончил своё обучение в университете Лидса и получил степень доктора искусств.

С 2009 встречался с американской актрисой и моделью Кейт Босуорт, но в конце июля 2011 года стало известно, что актёры расстались.

Magyar

biography:
Alexander Johan Hjalmar Skarsgård 1976. augusztus 25-én született Stockholmban. Politológusnak készült, de végül belépett a haditengerészetbe, visszatérése után pedig építészetet akart tanulni. Ennek ellenére 1997-ben végül a New York-i Marymount Theatre Schoolban kezdte meg a tanulmányait.

A következő években az Egyesült Államokban is egyre ismertebb, lett miután szerződést kötött a Los Angeles-i székhelyű Endeavor valamint az Londoni Markham, Froggalt and Irwin ügynökségekkel. Ezt követően számos televíziós sorozatban és filmes produkcióban szerepelt (Åke och hans värld – 1984, Hunden som log – 1989, Vingar av glas – 2000), a nemzetközi filmiparba azonban egy véletlen folytán került be, amikor egy vakáción beválogatták a Zoolander, a trendkívüli (2001) stábjába.

Két év amerikai tartózkodás után visszatért Svédországba, ahol több mint 15 filmet forgatott, és hazájának egyik legnépszerűbb színészévé vált.

2004-ben visszaköltözött Los Angelesbe, nem sokkal ezután pedig szerepet kapott az HBO minosorozatában, a Generation Kill – Gyilkos megszállásban (2008), mellyel a tengerentúlon is komoly népszerűségre tett szert. Karrierjének fordulópontját egy újabb HBO sorozat, a hatalmas népszerűségnek örvendő True Blood jelentette, mely meghozta számára a világszintű népszerűséget. A sorozat 7 évad után 2014-ben ért véget, és a csatorna harmadik legnézettebb szériája lett.

A True Blood epizódjai mellett számos produkcióban láthatta őt a közönség; szerepelt többek között Lars von Trier Melankólia (2011) című filmjében, de 2009-ben feltűnt Lady Gaga Paparazzi című videoklipjében is.

A színészt ötször választották meg Svédország legszexisebb férfijának, de számos amerikai magazin címoldalán is láthattunk, köztük a Rolling Stone-nal.

Legközelebb egy nagyköltségvetésű hollywoodi szuperprodukció, a Tarzan legendája (2016) főszerepében láthatjuk majd.

biography:
Alexander Johan Hjalmar Skarsgård, 25 Ağustos 1976 tarihinde Stockholm, İsveç'te dünyaya gelmiştir. Sinema dünyasının en köklü ailelerinden birinin en büyük oğlu olan Alexander, efsanevi aktör Stellan Skarsgård'ın oğlu ve yine oyuncu olan kardeşleri Gustaf, Bill ve Valter Skarsgård'ın ağabeyidir. Kariyerine henüz yedi yaşındayken İsveç'te bir çocuk oyuncu olarak başlamış ve kısa sürede ülkesinde tanınan bir yüz haline gelmiştir. Ancak genç yaşta gelen şöhretten bunalarak oyunculuğu bırakmış ve 19 yaşında İsveç Deniz Kuvvetleri'nin terörle mücadele biriminde askerlik hizmetini tamamlamıştır. Askerlik sonrası yeniden sanata yönelme kararı alarak oyunculuk eğitimine devam etmiş ve kariyerini uluslararası alanda sürdürmeye karar vermiştir.

Alexander Skarsgård'ın uluslararası alandaki asıl çıkışı, 2008 yılında HBO'nun iki farklı projesiyle aynı anda gerçekleşti. Eleştirmenlerden tam not alan mini dizi "Generation Kill"de canlandırdığı Çavuş Brad "Iceman" Colbert rolüyle ciddi bir dramatik aktör olarak yeteneğini kanıtlarken, aynı yıl başlayan ve bir popüler kültür fenomenine dönüşen "True Blood" dizisindeki karizmatik ve tehlikeli Viking vampiri Eric Northman karakteriyle dünya çapında bir yıldıza dönüştü. Bu rol, onun on yıl boyunca en çok tanındığı performansı oldu.

Kariyerinde yeni bir zirve noktasına, 2017 yılında yine bir HBO yapımı olan "Big Little Lies" dizisiyle ulaştı. Bu dizide canlandırdığı, dışarıdan mükemmel bir eş gibi görünen ancak aslında manipülatif ve şiddet eğilimli bir koca olan Perry Wright karakteriyle sergilediği rahatsız edici ve katmanlı performans, ona En İyi Yardımcı Erkek Oyuncu dalında Emmy, Altın Küre ve Ekran Oyuncuları Derneği (SAG) gibi sektörün en prestijli ödüllerini kazandırdı. Bu başarı, onun Hollywood'un en saygın aktörleri arasındaki yerini perçinledi.

Sonraki yıllarda Skarsgård, hem büyük bütçeli gişe filmlerinde hem de sanat sinemasında önemli roller üstlenerek çok yönlülüğünü kanıtladı. "Godzilla vs. Kong" (2021) gibi blockbuster filmlerde yer alırken, yönetmen Robert Eggers'in çektiği ve kendisinin de yapımcılığını üstlendiği "The Northman" (2022) filminde canlandırdığı Viking prensi Amleth rolüyle fiziksel olarak zorlayıcı ve sanatsal bir başrole imza attı. Ayrıca, son yılların en beğenilen dizilerinden "Succession"da canlandırdığı eksantrik teknoloji milyarderi Lukas Matsson karakteriyle de hafızalarda yer etti. Alexander Skarsgård, etkileyici fiziği, rolleri için girdiği dönüşümler ve karmaşık karakterleri canlandırmadaki başarısıyla günümüzün en önemli başrol oyuncularından biri olarak kabul edilmektedir.
