Coming in at #1 is Eric Northman! We thought you might be interested in reading her thoughts on the character!
#1 Eric Northman, True Blood
Without a doubt, Eric Northman topped the list in 2011. As played by the incomparable Alexander Skarsguard, Season 4 of True Blood delivered a vulnerable, emotive and sweet performance of amnesiac Eric. I liked Eric Northman in the earlier seasons, but he did not begin to capture my attention until Season 2′s episode “I will rise up” when Eric begs his maker Godric not to kill himself. The utter devastation and emotion portrayed by Skarsgard broke my heart. Season 3 delivered a consistent showing and sealed this character as a complex hero (not villain). While I enjoy True Blood, it is Eric Northman who keeps me coming back for more. Skarsgard has amazing chemistry with Anna Paquin’s Sookie, and this year we got to see lots of it. One of the sexiest pictures I’ve ever seen was captured when they moved into the house. Skarsgard uses his hands, and those hands are all up in her hair. The photo, which is out there on the Internet, is stunning, beautiful, raw and erotic. Note to other actors, watch what this actor does with his hands. The hands are on the face, tangled in the hair, and all over the body! Truly, truly gorgeous (yes, gorgeous not just sexy).
#1 Eric Northman, True BloodHmmm…which photo is she talking about?
Is it this one?
Or, how about this one?
Or, maybe it’s another one she means that doesn’t come to mind right now?
We happen to agree…Alex and his hands, has been a topic of discussion for a long time now! LOL
