Eric Northman is the sexy 1000 year-old Nordic Vampire sheriff of Bon Temps. Eric is first introduced in episode 4 as the owner of club Fangtasia where humans can offer themselves to vampires for a good time. Sookie meets Eric when she tries to solve the death of town locals, Dawn and Maudette,who both were found with fang marks on her bodies. Thinking that vampires are somehow related to her death, Sookie has Bill take her to Fangtasia where they ask around for information. When Sookie receives an image of a vampire feeding on a man in the bathroom and hears the thoughts of a undercover cop waiting for his raiding team, she warns Eric about the danger. At first, Eric is doubtful, but as soon as the cops come busting in, he is proved wrong. As Bill and Sookie follow Eric to safety, Eric makes it clear that Sookie will be returning to his club. As the season progresses, Eric's character becomes more interested in Sookie as he learns about her telepathic powers. Although he is seen as a cold and unfeeling bastard, there is an underlying hint that there is more to the old and powerful vampire than meets the eye.
Alexander Skarsgard, the actor playing Eric Northman, was born on August 25, 1976 in Stockholm, Sweden. His past credits include "Exit," "Kill Your Darlings," "The Last Drop" and "Zoolander." His upcoming film is "13 TZAMETI" directed by Gela Babluani starring opposite Sam Riley, Mickey Rourke, Ray Winstone and 50 cent. His other projects include the films "Metropia."
On television, he starred as 'Sgt Brad Colbert' in the critically acclaimed HBO mini-series "Generation Kill". Alexander is currently a series regular on the HBO hit show "True Blood," playing 'Eric' and ancient vampire.
Skarsgard directed "To Kill a Child" which won the Grand Prix and Press Awards at the 2003 Danish Film Festival. He has worked in film, television and theater since age seven. A former Sergeant in the Swedish Marines, Skarsgard currently resides in Stockholm and Los Angeles.
As the series goes on, I find that Eric is much sexier in the second season. With his new hair and more frequent showing of skin, he has an absolutely alluring look to him. I quickly fell in love with his character as soon as they introduced him in the first season episode four. I also appreciate the depth that Alex Skarsgard brings to his character. The loyalty that Eric shows at times when you want to hate him so much brings a refreshing rush of admiration for the vampire.Well, I hope you guys liked this bio! Please look forward for more!
