When asked why Alan Ball cast Skarsgård as Eric Northman:
“Aside from the fact that he looks like a Viking god? Eric’s a tricky character. He’s done some really horrible things, but we still have to like him. Alex can make Eric ruthless but at the same time totally captivating and even sympathetic.”Alexander Skarsgård for Bullet Magazine Vol. VII Summer 2012
