skarsjoy:NEW - Alexander Skarsgård in on the TV show Atlanta on FX tonight (the season finale). He is playing a parody of himself.He dances to Ashanti and so much more.May 19, 2022 (my phone pic of my TV) I don’t think I can post the other pics, you will have to see it for yourself. From TV Guide:Before the season premiered, Donald revealed Ryan Gosling was almost on the show. Was he supposed to play Alexander Skarsgård’s part?Yes, this is the role we tried to get him to do — not to say that we settled for Alexander Skarsgård. I feel like there were like three people we were like, “Oh my gosh, it would be so perfect if we could [cast them.” Alex was one of them. Ryan Gosling was one of them. I forget who else might have been in the mix. But, we were so lucky to get Alex. Now watching the episode, it couldn’t have been anyone else but him. He commits so well to the comedy and self-deprecation. He’s so funny to watch, and I can’t wait for everyone to see him. [Laughs] Yeah, it’s pretty ridiculous. In your mind, how does the Alexander Skarsgård character fit into what you wanted to explore in this episode but also in the season as a whole, because there have been several cameos?There wasn’t anything deep to it other than we thought it would be funny. [Laughs]. That’s just one of the things where it’s like, “Wouldn’t it be funny if we don’t hear or see Van for a while and then we sort of crash-land into this new life that she’s made for herself and she’s friends with Alexander Skarsgård. How jarring and abrupt would that feel?” And the nature of their relationship being twisted and weird, and kind of unhealthy. That was just pure comedy. I think for a lot of those cameos, at least from my recollection, [came from asking], “Wouldn’t it be funny if?” And then we just write it and see if we can do it. What you see is what you get. -- source link
