Stellan Skarsgård Didn't Intend to Become an Actor; Now He's an Oscar Nominee
About this episode
Stellan Skarsgård discusses his unexpected journey to becoming an Oscar nominee and reflects on his career and family.
Stellan Skarsgård has acted in over 150 films and television shows, from independent projects in his native Sweden to some of Hollywood's biggest franchises. But his performance in Joachim Trier's Sentimental Value , as a filmmaker trying to connect with his estranged daughters, earned the actor his first-ever Oscar nomination. Rebecca and John sat down with Skarsgård in London ahead of the BAFTAs to talk about his career, his favorite directors, and how he advises (or not!) his children, who've pursued their own acting careers.
