Bill Skarsgård

What fascinates me about Bill Skarsgård is how completely he weaponizes his own handsomeness. Off duty he is a soft-spoken Stockholm guy from acting royalty; on screen he twists that face into Pennywise's grin or Count Orlok's rot until you forget a human being is under there. Plenty of actors hide behind prosthetics — Skarsgård acts through them, which is far harder. I would argue he has quietly become this generation's great horror transformist, an heir to Lon Chaney rather than just another Skarsgård brother. I am equally curious to see what he does when a director simply lets him keep his own face.
