Bill Skarsgård on Working with Antonio Campos & Auditioning for Pennywise | The First Time

For Swedish actor Bill Skarsgård, performing onscreen very much runs in the family: His father Stellan Skarsgård, as well as older brothers Alexander and Gustaf, have all made names for themselves as prominent film and television actors. But it didn’t always come easy for Bill.
“As I grew older and came into my teenage years, I had a hard time with finding my own identity as an actor, coming from such a big acting family in such a small country as Sweden,” he tells Rolling Stone‘s The First Time. “I was probably around 18 or 19 when I really committed to it as an adult. I was like, ‘Here’s something I love doing, and I’m somewhat capable of it, so let’s go for it.'”
Skarsgård stars in the new Netflix thriller The Devil All the Time, portraying a World War II veteran who is haunted by memories of violence after he returns to his home and family in the mid-century American South. “I thought it was such a captivating story - it really felt like a world to me, an immersive world in tone,” he recalls. “It was very dark, but it was also strangely beautiful.”

Bill needs to give himself more credit. He’s a talented actor and what gives him his uniqueness is his ability to have different cultures. He can legit play any role and nail it

[@victoriarocha1117]

I loved his character in "The devil all the time". He made me speechless

He did an amazing performance in The Devil All The Time. Oscar-worthy performance, that is. The entire movie is Oscar-worthy.

[@jennifersixx3740]

This movie was amazing. Everyone acted so well. Bill was my standout. Js

[@TalkAsSoftAsChalk]

I agree. Everyone is talking about Pattinson (who was definitely incredible) but Bill was really something else.

[@sadiekennedy9774]

He’s such a good actor he nails every role. He’s so humble too I luv him🥺

[@TalkAsSoftAsChalk]

I love how pretty much all the actors in the film aren't American yet kinda nailed the accents.

After Sherlock, I was convinced I wasn't getting over Benedict Cumberbatch. And I've only seen him in 'It' series, Villains and the devil all the time and he and his acting have taken a toll on me. I mean, where do ya find a guy THAT GOOD AT ACTING, holy 6'3" , AND SO BLOODY FUCKING ADORABLE???!!! (I mean just look at him, JUST LOOK AT HIM) And honey no, that accent wasn't bullshit, you were rocking it. There was a palpable madness when you were on the sceen. Fucking goosebumps inducing. LOVED ITTTTTTT

[@rituparnamarik3185]

He is 6'4" or 5 but definitely not 6'3"..

I’m 40 years old and I would cover my walls with Bill Skarsgard posters. He’s so talented. Oh. Yeah I already have one. IT Never would downplay his talent, I feel bad saying he’s handsome. He’s so talented.

[@hellbentbliss]

His English always shocks and impresses me. He had such a heavy accent only a few years ago

[@bernstyles]

in 2012, his accent is clear usa english. He put on a fake one in divergent and atomic blonde kzbin.info/www/bejne/l2fLh3SrjLmIgpo

Found out about Bill from the 4th John Wick. Such a talented guy… and sooo cute. 🥰 I’m sorry, I had to say it. His suits in John Wick Ch. 4 were very eye catching too, I loved how glittery they were. Also great personality. I’ve watched IT before but I didn’t pay attention to who played as the clown so I had no idea. He’s definitely a favorite actor of mine now ❤

[@LisaakaBooksonTwitch]

I love this behind the scenes/background info on Billie's career. It's so intriguing to me, and I want more as he gets further on in his career.

[@giovannacisotto8542]

he was the perfect actor for pennywise nailed it

[@jonasbrothersrockist]

Yeah, he was perfectly good choice to play Pennywise from IT movies. Can you imagine any other actors to take a role of Pennywise better than him or Tim Curry?

[@j.y.1462]

"hi im bill skrrt skrrt"

[@AjemDaylight]

Bill's so nice. i don't see the bad clown in him but it means he's a fantastic actor and he's very good at playing the bad guy. I love that little laugh! you're just getting sympathy at the same moment! 😊 very talented guy, I'd like to see him more on the big screen. 💕

Bill Skarsgård is my celebrity crush. He's an dreamy precious actor. I love his portrayal of Pennywise. Even, I prefer 2017 version of him playing Pennywise than Tim Curry's version. Pennywise 2017 is my favorite horror icon.
