Great news! New role for Alex! :happydance:
It sounds interesting, can´t wait to see him as Perry.
Now we don´t have to wait for years to watch him also nice to see
him back at HBO. :smile1:

Bonus: He will probably wear suits as Perry

I think I will read the book before I see the TV-series.

^ Red, re the book, good idea, I've already ordered a copy as it sounds so good, and it will be very difficult to avoid spoilers, plus we can sit back and enjoy Alex's performance ;)

Eta: Glamazon, I think the Boston journalist was just using very poor English :) And yes, Henares BLL is very good news, we've gone from wondering, (once the filming of Mute was pushed back), what Alex was going to do until the Tarzan prem, to this :happydance:

Having read the book synopsis, Perry doesn't actually seem like the devoted husband. So this should be interesting for Alex.

Oh, I've read the book. It's a good read - his part is pretty central, although there are a lot of characters. I like Liane Moriarty, she's a good plane read. Kind of mentally casting some of the roles. Shailene W seems a bit young for the other part.

Belize, hmm? That's different.

I think they wrote that pretty bluntly but I also think quite a few articles referenced Stellan when Alex first hit the big time ie Gen Kill and TB. Like this one below:

It certainly didn't hurt his career. Nepotism and being in an acting/movie family does lead to more exposure and opportunity IMHO.

^ Oh yeah Free, it was prob'ly me being a bit picky, it was the 'thanks to' that I objected to, not the mention of Stellan as that often happens, and vice versa too now :) Lord knows what it will be like for Valter, (the intro is gonna be so long, lol).

From the Deadline link: "Joel Kinnaman, some Swedish-American dude". Uh huh. I know, was before Snabba Cash and The Killing.

I don't mind TheSortofGreater Hemsworth as Thor, but he's currently shown he's not able to open a movie that doesn't involve an already known character.

Sometimes I wish that Alex had been cast, but I think he's done well enough, role wise, even though not box office-wise.

As for Stellan, I am still amused by people who know who both Alex and Stellan but then don't know they're related.

Valter doesn't seem to be acting much anymore, he seems more into being a professional gamer.

I remember reading about the book, but even then it was stuck in the giant mental pile of 'Books I should read when I have more time, like after I win the lottery.' Though now that Alex has been cast it has moved much closer to the top of the pile.

Belize seems more his thing than the celeb side of Miami: He can be all adventury and outdoory and not be bothered too much.

Thanks, Santress!

This is good news about BLL. He is definitely choosing complicated roles. No romcoms for him.

I've also read the book and agree he is central in that his presence is always there and in the background even thought he's not actually around. I don't know if that made sense. I'm trying not to give away any spoilers for those who haven't read it. One good thing if they follow the book - he's described as always being impeccably dressed in suits, etc. We'll get to see well dressed Alex.

See, adventuring! And are those new shorts?! They're ... lovely.
I'm rather envious right now, he's probably got great weather, and it's supposed to be actually winter-like here at the beginning of the week, I'm sick of )@(#$*)( winter and we really haven't had winter yet.

He's getting a nice tan too but I must be crazy was sorta hoping the floral shorts would make a cameo appearance!! these pics make me want to be in the tropics!! the UK crew are still posting on their social media so they must all still be there too you would think he would grow tiresome of the added baggage!! :smile1:

Here's hoping the costume person realizes that Alex looks really really good in Tom Ford suits. :)

Thank you very much Santress!!!
Do you know if “Big little líes" will be a mini-serie?
Click to expand...

Yes, this will be an 8 episode limited, or mini, series.
This is what had been discussed in the fandom in terms of career choices, that he'd come back to tv for a limited series, but not a 'regular' series like TB. So this works for him in terms of not tying him to a long term contract.
