Biography
Gustaf Caspar Orm Skarsgård is a Swedish screenwriter and actor born November 12, 1980. He rose to international recognition playing Floki, the unhinged shipbuilder, across six seasons of the History Channel's Vikings (2013–2020). Beyond that role, Skarsgård has assembled a portfolio of high-profile projects: he appeared in Christopher Nolan's Oppenheimer (2023), the HBO series Westworld (2018), and played Merlin in Netflix's Cursed (2020). Earlier work includes the film Kon-Tiki (2012) and The Way Back (2010). His debut came in the 2003 television drama Evil. As a Scorpio born in mid-November, Skarsgård embodies the sign's intensity—his Floki character in particular channeled that brooding, transformative energy. Screenwriters and actors typically move between character-driven projects and ensemble casts; Skarsgård's career reflects both instincts, from indie period pieces to tentpole prestige television. He works from Sweden, where he was born.
