‘True Blood’ favorite Alexander Skarsgard is set to start filming season 3 of the hit HBO show later this month. The actor has been busy lifting weights and running to prepare for his scenes – which will involve quite a bit of nudity this season!
“I’m extremely excited to get naked!”
I’m sure I can find about a million women who’ll drink to that!!
Alexander says that he studied lions to help him carve out his vampire alter-ego, Eric Northman.
“Someone as powerful and experienced as [Eric] doesn’t need to show what he is,” SkarsgÃ¥rd tells French magazine Générique. “He only has to whisper, and people listen and obey.” “I was inspired by a tv documentary on lions that I saw. The way the male moves-confident, graceful, calm and quietly menacing. Make a wrong move and you’re dead. In his heart, Eric is a lion, an animal.”
While Eric is quite a bad boy, he does show a soft side now and then that really gets the ladies swooning.
“[Eric] has a sensitive side, is passionate, and can be a valuable friend,” explains Alexander. “He does not like many people, but those he loves, he is very dedicated to.”
Some of my favorite Eric moments are the comedy ones but I love it when he’s being bad – especially when he’s baiting Bill by making comments about liking Sookie. I am SO excited for this show to hurry up and get back on the air! Do you have a favorite character on the show?

Team Eric all the way!!! Drool…
I like Eric as well, but I’d have to say my favorite character is Lafayette
He is such a nice piece of eye candy.
yummm
I can’t wait for him to get naked either.
my favorite character is with no doubt Eric, because he is so powerful but also wise. With his 1000 years on earth he has much experience and also knowledge… he is dedicated and loyal to those he loves … in the first season I thought Eric takes advantage of everything and when there is no advantage for him in doing business with another person, he simple doesn’t doing business with this person… but in season 2.. I realize… there is more behind the person… I mean…vampire Eric. He is loyal, he worries about others, he takes care for others… and I realize that beneath that rough exterior beats a heart of gold…
Eric is a definite favorite (especially after reading the books!). I can’t wait to see what they writers keep from the book storylines, b/c there’s some great Eric material in there, too. And I’m looking forward to watching his nude scenes as much as he’s looking forward to doing them!!
Besides him, Pam and Lafayette are definite favorites. Both add the best comic relief.
Man, we’re excited too.
Eric is definedly my favourite, i don’t like bill and something a don’t even like Sookie.
i just finshed reading Dead to the World and i know love Eric even more.
another talentless bubble head…nothing more than a pretty outside…this is why it takes so little to fool masses …
“talentless bubble head…”
WTF
Wrong wrong wrongo…..
More Eric please! He’s one of the top 5 most interesting and talented actors of today. Supertalent.
OMG!!!! SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO excited for season 3 EEEK!!!
And swoon at eric, yum can’t wait even more now if he’s going to be all nudey!!
The books (and season 1) are on my christmas so hopefully I’ll get them to find out what happens!

Eric is absolutely my favorite. He is so sexy and I love it that he can be so bad, so funny, and so sweet at the same time. CANNOT wait for Season 3.
