Despite its small population, Sweden has gifted the world with some incredible actors and directors, such as the gorgeous star of True Blood, Straw Dogs and mini-series Generation Kill, Alexander Skarsgård.

Always a bit of a rebel, Alexander joined the army at 19 before studying at the Leeds Metropolitan University and then moving to New York to study theatre.
