Alexander Skarsgård Talks Playing Introverted Robot In ‘Murderbot’ & Bond With His Siblings

Alexander Skarsgård is playing an introverted robot in his new Apple TV series “Murderbot,” but even though on the surface it seems like he and the character are nothing alike, the actor told Access Hollywood they do have some things in common. “I am definitely more of an extrovert than Murderbot,” he said. “But I can definitely relate to the feeling of being socially awkward or being in a room where you don’t know how to fit in,” he added. Alexander also ranked the three favorite characters he’s portrayed throughout his career and talked about his close bond with his seven siblings, including fellow actor Bill Skarsgård. “I’m incredibly proud of all of them. Not only how talented and successful they are but they’re good people and that makes me very proud,” he said. The first two episodes of “Murderbot” will premiere on Apple TV+ on May 16, followed by new episodes every Friday through July 11.
