Alexander Skarsgard
He is seriously the best actor in the show. For me at least. I disliked him from the start, and then HATED him so much since the basement chaining of Lafayette and others that it pissed me off he was still in the show. He of course continued to do bad things. (Not intentional, but hey, theme song reference lol.) But just finished 3 finale and when he shook Bill's hand and Bill threw him into the cement, my brain flew to "BILL I WILL NEVER FORGIVE YOU!!" lol... He's somehow so charming and brought me around. A character like him, I think it takes a seriously skilled actor to pull it off and make you like him. I was glad he got out of the cement lol. I think I like him more than Bill now, because I mean we knew what kind of person he was from the start, but we keep finding more and more lies and manipulations from Bill who just keeps claiming he did it all out of love. That seems like delusion. Tbh I don't know who I want to win that end fight we saw start lol - I'm probably the only one in the world, I think she's really beloved, but I can't stand Evan Rachel Wood. Hopefully she doesn't stay around for the whole rest of the show. And I'm sure Sookie will start talking to Eric again. We have a few more seasons to go! Btw not dissing any other actors or actresses, just haven't seen one turn me around so completely about a character, and actually really like him even when he's still so evil in some ways lol. I work at a convenience store, and when I started the show, I started talking about it with a customer who likes it. She said her fav character is Eric, and I was like "what?!? How?!" .. but now I get it.
Edit: probably helps that we saw some humanity, his family, Godric. But still. I've come around to enjoying watching "bad" characters before, but not actually liking them as people.
