Skarsgard feels a lot less homesick whenever he’s around his colleagues, some of whom he considers his good friends.

“It’s such a big part of my life. I came here (Hollywood) eight years ago and have been with this show for five. It has become my family away from home,” says the tall blonde Swedish actor in his flawless American accent. Skarsgard, if you don’t already know, is the son of famous Swedish actor, Stellan Skarsgard. He talks about his family and friends a lot during the interview.

“I come from a big social family and I’m still close to my friends whom I grew up with. I don’t get to see them all the time though because they live in Stockholm.

“I have a lot of friends here now, too, but most of them I met through work so they are all in the (movie) industry. My friends back home are not – my best friend is a carpenter, one friend is unemployed right now and another one is still in university. It’s just nice to have people around you who are from all walks of life,” he shares.
