Alexander Skarsgard Spills on His New Stephen King Series 'The Stand'

Alexander Skarsgard is teasing his role on Stephen King‘s upcoming series The Stand.

The 43-year-old actor, who will play Randall Flagg on the show, explained how he’s getting inspiration for the character.

“It’s extraordinarily thrilling and exciting. It’s a fantastic opportunity, an iconic figure and we’re just getting started. I was up there last week and filmed for a couple of days,” Alexander said on SiriusXM’s EW Live.

He added, “I’ve loved it. Josh Boone is the showrunner and he’s been wonderful to collaborate with. He’s a real nerd, he’s read all of Stephen King‘s novels like 10 times…I have not read all of them so it’s been great because he’ll give me like, ‘Oh read this chapter from this book, they mention Randall Flagg and it will give you some insight to his background!’”
