NO TOUGH GUY
Alexander Skarsgård , Big Little Lies

BigLittle Lies is something of a case of déjà vu for Alexander Skarsgård .
The actor had already cut his teeth on an HBO ensemble drama that captivated national attention, Alan Ball’s True Blood. And three years after
the steamy fantasy series wrapped, Skarsgård returned to the network’s employ as a co-star to some impressive female leads in Big Little Lies’ - Reese Witherspoon, Laura Dern, Zoë Kravitz and his scene partner and
onscreen wife, Nicole Kidman.
But the conversation around his stoic businessman, Perry Wright, is not the same as the jubilant chatter for his oft-nude True Blood vampire Eric Northman. Wright is a physically and emotionally abusive husband in director Jean-Marc Vallee’s limited series, with his behavior escalating violently to a fatal end. Luckily, Skarsgård was shooting two projects abroad while Lies came to air. He had no idea the sensation the show had become, or how vilified he was in reviews and on social media.
But he did know that the production took a toll. “It was very tough to shoot those scenes when I beat her. They were horrible,” Skarsgård said. “The way Jean-Marc works is very organic. He doesn’t care much about continuity or tape marks on the floor. You get to really explore the space, which is wonderful. But that also means that we had to play those entire scenes from beginning to end.”
The fictional family's Monterey, California home was actually shot on a soundstage at Sony—and after 12-hour days of abuse, the actors used L.A. traffic to console each other. “You sit in rush-hour traffic on your way home, and it was very important after a day of that to check in with each other,” Skarsgård said. “It’s physically tough and emotionally draining.”
He doesn’t get the kindest looks at the grocery store, he admitted, now that he’s returned to the States. But there was a small reward in playing Perry. The final set piece of Lies is a school fundraiser, where the men dress as their favorite Elvis Presley incarnation and the women took on Audrey Hepburn. “That felt like an extended wrap party for two weeks,” he said. “Until they all killed me.”

So far it looks like he's chosen the plainest/simplest shirts/pants, and not the one with noisy prints/patterns, which aren't that attractive. I do wonder what sort of freebies he's gotten from them over the past year, is it just clothes, did he get any luggage?
