Alexander Skarsgård Says He Felt ‘Filthy' After Bad Auditions

Swedish actor Alexander Skarsgård recently revealed his struggles with failed auditions early in his career. The Murderbot star said he felt like the 'worst actor' with 'zero confidence' after disappointing auditions left him devastated. Alexander Skarsgård opened up about his days of feeling 'filthy' after bad auditions. The 48-year-old Golden Globe-winning star recently appeared on Jesse Tyler Ferguson's Dinner's on Me podcast, where he was candid about the challenging time before achieving success in Hollywood. The Murderbot actor revealed that he had to attend auditions even when he was 'not connecting with the character at all.' However, he feared that his agent might fire him, so he chose to go. Skarsgård confessed, 'I found those experiences — they were horrible — when you go in for something that you know you're not right for, and you're not connecting with a character at all, but you're at a place where you feel like you can't say no to the audition.' However, the aftermath of the bad auditions were equally dreadful. The actor revealed, 'I get a little PTSD (Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder), because I remember the feeling of coming back to my little s—ty apartment in L.A., you know, crying in the shower after a day like that. I just felt filthy in my soul and, like, zero confidence.' Along with the failed auditions, the crippling self-doubt also impacted Skarsgård. The True Blood actor admitted, 'I was like, 'I'm the worst actor in the world, and I also have no dignity because I go in and audition for this stuff. I'm wasting their time.' It's a rough feeling.' Despite the challenging beginning, Skarsgård chose to continue his career in movies and eventually got his breakthrough role in 2008 with HBO's Generation Kill. Later, the actor won a Primetime Emmy, a Golden Globe, and a Critics' Choice Television Award, among more, for his performance in Big Little Lies. Currently, Skarsgård is appearing in Apple TV's science-fiction comedy series, Murderbot. The actor portrays the titular character of the Murderbot, a rogue SecUnit.

Robots, rebels, and reality benders: 6 sci-fi shows you must watch right now

It's a wild time to be a sci-fi fan. The genre isn't just about spaceships and laser guns anymore - it's where our biggest questions about technology, society, and even ourselves get stress-tested. Streaming platforms are treating science fiction like the ultimate sandbox: one week you're following a robot with a TV addiction, the next you're watching cats team up with robots to take over the world. If you're after shows that push boundaries and make you think, here are six series that should be on your watchlist right now. Love, Death + Robots (Volume 4) This season, the anthology leans into the weird, with aliens taking centre stage and two cat-themed episodes that are anything but cute. One follows a feline uprising that turns the tables on humanity, while the other explores survival in a world where cats hold all the cards. 'Love, Death + Robots' is rarely a showcase for animation; acting like a playground for big ideas. Volume 4 proves the show can still surprise, no matter the plot! Where to watch: Netflix Murderbot Murderbot doesn't want to be your hero. It just wants to watch its shows in peace. But when humans keep getting into trouble, this security android can't help but get involved - grudgingly. The series adapts Martha Wells' books with a dry sense of humour and a sharp eye for the absurdities of corporate life. Alexander Skarsgård nails the awkwardness of a machine that's more comfortable with TV drama than real people. If you've ever felt out of place or just wanted to be left alone, you'll find something to relate to here. The show's first season is still airing, so if you like binge-watching entire seasons, it's best to wait a few weeks. Where to watch: Apple TV+ Andor (Season 2) 'Andor' strips Star Wars down to its essentials: power, resistance, and the cost of taking a stand. Season two digs deeper into Cassian's journey from bystander to rebel, and the show doesn't flinch from the hard choices or the messy politics that come with fighting an empire. The tension exists all around - blaster fights, conversations, the betrayals, and the moments when hope feels like a risk. Where to watch: Disney+ (worldwide), JioHotstar (India) Fallout 'Fallout' drops you into a world where the apocalypse is just the starting point. Vault dwellers, mutants, and opportunists all trying to carve out a future in the ruins of the old world. The show captures the game's mix of dark comedy and danger, with Ella Purnell's Lucy discovering just how strange - and sometimes funny - survival can be. With a second season on the way, now's the time to catch up and see why everyone's talking about bottle caps and power armour again. Where to watch: Prime Video Severance (Season 2) What if you could leave your work self at the office - literally? 'Severance' returns with more questions about memory, identity, and what companies really want from us. The new season pulls the curtain back on Lumon Industries, but every answer leads to more puzzles. The show's unsettling calm and office surrealism make it hard to look away, especially as the characters start to push back against the boundaries of their own minds. Where to watch: Apple TV+ 3 Body Problem '3 Body Problem' isn't afraid to ask what happens when humanity faces something it can't control or even understand. The first season sets up a mystery that stretches from the Cultural Revolution to the edge of the universe, with scientists and soldiers caught in a game they barely grasp. The show balances science, suspense, and the kind of existential dread that lingers long after the credits roll. With a second season on the horizon, now's the perfect time to get on board. Where to watch: Netflix If you're looking for science fiction that doesn't just entertain but gets under your skin, these six shows are leading the way in 2025. These shows explore a lot more than the future; they're about the questions we're asking right now. First Published Date: 16 Jun, 19:01 IST
