From Swedish cinema to Hollywood, his is an extensive career StellanSkarsgård is a Swedish actor who has made a remarkable impact even in Hollywood, without a doubt. The 70-year-old actor started his acting career very early, and by the age of 21, he already had an extensive career in film, television, and even stage. Most of StellanSkarsgård’s early roles are in the Swedish entertainment industry. However, Skarsgård's first American film was the 1985 film Noon Wine essaying the role of a mentally disturbed immigrant farmhand chased by a bounty hunter. This was followed by the 1990 film American film, The Hunt for Red October, in the role of Captain Tupolev, a Soviet submarine commander. Here is a list of some of his must-watch movies. Nymphomaniac This 2013 European two-part erotic art film stars Charlotte Gainsbourg, Stacy Martin, Shia LaBeouf, Uma Thurman, and Connie Nielsen, besides StellanSkarsgård. The story of the film follows Joe, played by Gainsbourg and Martin, who is a self-diagnosed nymphomaniac and recounts her erotic experiences to a bachelor. A Somewhat Gentle Man This 2010 Norwegian comedy film by director Hans PetterMoland is said to be more quirky and clever, rather than just being a plain simple comedy. StellanSkarsgård portrays the lead role of Ulrik, a semi-reformed criminal who is a happy-go-lucky person living without any complaints so long as he gets something out of it. This trait of the character is seen through every aspect of his life, from sex, violence, employment, and, more tragically, an altercation with his son. Dogville This 2003 avant-garde drama film stars an ensemble cast comprising Nicole Kidman, Lauren Bacall, Paul Bettany, ChloëSevigny, Harriet Andersson, and James Caan, besides StellanSkarsgård.

StellanSkarsgård is seen in the role of Chuck, whose children are looked after by Grace.
