Stellan Skarsgård

Stellan Skarsgård, the patriarch of the family, is a father of eight and the first to achieve international success as an actor. He began his acting career at a young age and was already gaining recognition by the time he was 21. In 1985, he starred in his first American film, Noon Wine, and has since appeared in numerous blockbusters, including Pirates of the Caribbean, The Avengers, and Mamma Mia! [1]

Alexander Skarsgård

Perhaps even more famous than his father is Alexander Skarsgård, the eldest of Stellan's children. He also began acting at an early age but rose to prominence with his role in the hit TV series True Blood. Alexander has starred in numerous films and TV series, both Swedish and American, and has achieved international fame. [2]

Bill Skarsgård

Like his father and brother, Bill Skarsgård launched his acting career in Sweden before moving into American cinema and television. He is best known internationally for his chilling portrayal of Pennywise in the horror films It and It Chapter Two, both adaptations of Stephen King's novels. [3]

Valter Skarsgård

Valter Skarsgård, the youngest child of Stellan and My Skarsgård, was born in 1995 and is also an actor. Unlike his siblings, he has so far focused on Swedish productions. [4]
