Alexander’s brother Bill Skarsgard is known for playing Pennywise the clown in the successful new IT movies, and he starred in the first season of Hulu’s Castle Rock.
Just wait, eventually the Skarsgards will play every Stephen King character together on Castle Rock.
Skarsgard will be playing iconic character Randall Flagg, who has appeared in a number of King’s novels throughout his career.
One other big thing CBS All Access’ The Stand has going for it is that it has cast an actor from a family that has become synonymous with King adaptations, Alexander Skarsgard.
