Alexander Skarsgard: “I didn’t want Eric to become too much of a little puppy.”

In a new interview with the L.A. Times, Alexander Skarsgard talks about playing a new side of Eric, the surreal nature of his job, and more as Eric prepares to break out on True Blood this season:

“It’s a completely different side of Eric,” Skarsgard said. “He doesn’t know who he is so all that baggage is gone — 1,000 years of resentment and bitterness, the whole loathing humanity kind of stuff is gone. But there has to be an element of danger there still. I didn’t want him to become too much of a little puppy…. I don’t think it would be fun to watch him for very long if he was completely emasculated.”
