Busy enough that he recently spent years without a home to call his own.
Ive just been living on location, jumping from one project to another, says theTrue BloodandBig Little Liesactor.

I actually got an apartment in New York a few months ago.
That was the first time in two years I had my own bed.
Skarsgard has already starred in a pair of 2018 Netflix thrillers MuteandHold the Dark.
He turns out to be something completely different, and shes roped into a world of international espionage.
Skarsgard fondly recalls shooting at the historic site.
They closed down the Acropolis from sundown to sunrise for us, says the actor.
It felt very, very special to be up there watching the sunset over Athens.
Drummer Girlis helmed by legendary South Korean director Park Chan-wook (Oldboy); Skarsgard is a big fan.
Hes one of the greatest filmmakers of our time, says the actor.
There are directors that have a visual language that is sometimes at the expense of the characters.
Theyre focused more on the visual aspect than on the psychology of the story.
He is a master at both.
One thing Skarsgard shares with his character?
Well, my character is definitely dead, he says.
I cant say any more.
Wetoldyou he was busy.
he says with a laugh.
No, I play a teeny-tiny little human who tries to not get trampled.
I fly out to Hawaii in two days to start that.
Sounds like he doesnt need that apartment after all.
