Eric

Discussing the men of True Blood with Michael, he went on a bit of a rant over what seems to be everyones favourite hunk on the show, Eric Northman played by Alexander Skarsgård. I think he's most certainly a handsome fella, but Sam Merlotte (Sam Trammell) is the one who holds my gaze. Michael, ever the honest if slightly bitchy man that he is, said this of Eric, "He looks as though he had a peripheral role on some USA original series that ran for 3 weeks and was promptly canceled. There is nothing extraordinary about him whatsoever." Ouch! Luckily, Mr. Skarsgård won't lose an ounce of sleep over that comment. How could he hear it over the screaming adoration of three-fourths of the country's population - male as well as female? He couldn't.
