You can hear a telephone interview with Alexander Skarsgård (in Swedish) with Aftonbladet via this video. http://www.aftonbladet.se/nojesbladet/article21796192.ab
From Aftonbladet & Google Translate:
The Swedish Hollywood star Alexander Skarsgård has spent the fall on a Greenpeace ship in the Arctic Ocean. Along with acting colleague Jack McBrayer, he has made the climate of humor seriously.
- On the larger scale, it is important that politicians in the world to work together across borders. The problem today is that no one wants to lead on climate change, says Alexander Skarsgård Nöjesbladet.
Alexander Skarsgård together with actor colleague Jack McBayer, known from “30 Rock”, played in a mini series in three parts, which recently premiered at the humor site “Funny or Die”.
The series was shot on the Greenpeace icebreaker among glaciers, on and around Greenland, autumn.
- I’ve been with Greenpeace for many years and thought it would be fun to do something with them, says Alexander Skarsgard in an exclusive interview with Aftonbladet.

Nobody wants to lead the climate issue
Series makes the humor of a serious subject, and aims to raise awareness of what is happening in the Arctic. It can be seen as a contribution to the forthcoming climate summit in Paris.
"We live in a democracy and it is important to remember that, to the larger scale, it is important that politicians in the world to work together across borders. The problem today is that no one wants to lead on climate change. Politicians will not result in a change until citizens who choose politicians say that we will not vote for politicians who do not take this seriously or we will not vote for politicians who do not see this as a real threat" says Alexander Skarsgård.
Would have disastrous consequences
The star is worried about the frantic pace as the glaciers disappear. When he was in Greenland, he began to think about the disaster in the Gulf of Mexico off Louisiana in the United States, where the Deepwater Horizon sank and caused a huge oil spill.
"People realized that they would start drilling for oil up here and it happens a similar incident, the catastrophic consequences that would have. There is no support there, there is nothing. It would leak any amount" says Alexander Skarsgård.

Heres your Friday afternoon Skarsgard. This was at NYCC (I think) 5 or 6 years ago. He is so much taller than me that this is him crouching down so we could both be in the frame. Yes, he is a delightful Viking!
