Alexander Skarsgårds 10 Best Scenes In True Blood

Like the actor who plays him, the ancient vampire Eric Northman from HBO’s True Blood is a tall, seductive Swede. Alexander Skarsgård plays Eric, the Sheriff of Area 5, for the supernatural series’s entire run, which lasted seven seasons between 2008 to 2014. The 1,000-year-old bloodsucker is a wise and guarded immortal who doesn’t let anyone get too close to him.

As True Blood progresses, though, Eric displays more compassion, humor, and affection – shedding his tough exterior. He proves himself to be a loyal, dedicated companion and ally to those who gain his trust. Eric also has a propensity for shedding his clothes, as do all the other True Blood characters in the sultry otherworldly drama set in muggy Louisiana.
