Alexander Skarsgard on Making His Directorial Debut & Casting Challenges

The 2023 Sundance Film Festival is underway and among the attendees of this year’s iteration of the legendary event is Emmy winner Alexander Skarsgård. He made his way to Park City, Utah for the premiere of Brandon Cronenberg’s Infinity Pool which he stars in opposite X and Pearl star Mia Goth. While he was there, however, Collider’s own Perri Nemiroff had to ask about his exploits behind the camera with his project The Pack which was announced late last year. In a first for his career, Skarsgård is both starring in and directing the feature, which put him on the opposite side of the casting process for the very first time. Nemiroff asked him about that new experience and how his time as an actor informed his search for his cast. Hear all about it in this video!
