Alexander Skarsgard has quietly carved out a niche as one of the top sinister bad guys of his generation. Whether it be the homicidal Viking in The Northman, the psychopathic tech CEO in HBO’s transcending drama Succession, the abusive antagonist in HBO’s beloved Big Little Lies, the lead sexual assaulter/terrorizer in the underrated remake of Straw Dogs, or the charming and soft-spoken, yet sadistic and narcissistic sergeant in Dan Krauss’s The Kill Team, a fictionalized version of the killings of unarmed Afghan civilians carried out by US soldiers in the Maywand District in Kandahar Province, Afghanistan in 2010.
