Instead, he plays Anton, one of two cousins (the other is played by Jesse Eisenberg) who quit their day jobs to try and build a competitive fibre optic cable across half of the continental United States.
While Jesse Eisenberg got to keep his hair for The Hummingbird Project, Alexander Skarsgård was certainly not his usual handsome self.
Anton is awkward, a programmer who generally goes along with his cousin’s insistence.
It’s a role far removed from the True Blood gig that made him famous, or a lot of his more recent movie roles.
