HBO just published an interview with Alexander Skarsgård about his recent scenes as the memory-challenged Eric Northman.

Alex: I know that people have been talking about it – but I try to stay away from the blogs and fan sites. I’m a little scared … I do meet fans in person, though, and the feedback has been great this year. It seems that people are enjoying Eric’s arc, which is great because I had a blast shooting it. I love playing “Amnesia Eric.” It’s just such a different side of him, and it’s always fun as actor to dig deeper. You learn a lot, and I definitely have this year.

Alex: I wanted to make sure that it was a side of Eric – not a new character. The side of him that was hidden. He’s very innocent and naïve now, but I also thought it was very important not to lose the old Eric – the predator – and the element of danger there. You’ve got to feel that to make it interesting, I think, and it’s something I focused on. You definitely see how he can get very violent, especially in those moments where he’s protective of Sookie.

Alex: It’s up there. I’ve done some stuff in other movies as well that’s pretty graphic…But these were definitely some pretty intense scenes. We were kind of all over the place. But my favorite scene is yet to come…
