There are more Skarsg&aring;rds than you might realize. To keep it all straight, L&rsquo;OFFICIEL breaks down the powerhouse acting family with a comprehensive family tree.

At this point, the Skarsg&aring;rds don&rsquo;t just have a presence in Hollywood&mdash;they have a system. What started with one prolific Swedish actor has evolved into a full-fledged acting family dynasty, complete with prestige films and franchise villains. There&rsquo;s Bill Skarsg&aring;rd, best known for terrorizing audiences as Pennywise in the It franchise, <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/men/alexander-skarsgard-leather-daddy-dominatrix-pillion-movie-cannes-2025" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Alexander Skarsg&aring;rd</a>, who got his breakout from True Blood and has remained a steady force in Hollywood since then, and their father, Stellan Skarsg&aring;rd, whose career spans decades, continents, and genres. And somehow, there are still more Skarsg&aring;rds to list.&nbsp;
If you&rsquo;ve lost track of how many Skarsg&aring;rds exist&mdash;or how they&rsquo;re all connected&mdash;you&rsquo;re not alone. Below, we break down the entire Skarsg&aring;rd family tree and explain why their takeover of Hollywood feels inevitable.&nbsp;

One of Sweden&rsquo;s most prolific actors, 74-year-old Stellan Skarsg&aring;rd is the connective thread tying together one of Hollywood&rsquo;s most recognizable acting families. Most recently, Stellan won the 2026 Golden Globe for Best Performance by a Male Actor in a Supporting Role in any Motion Picture for his role in Sentimental Value.&nbsp;

Stellan married physician My Skarsg&aring;rd in 1975. During their three-decade marriage, they welcomed six children, all full siblings to one another.

<h2>Children with My Skarsg&aring;rd&nbsp;</h2>

The oldest of the&nbsp;Skarsg&aring;rd family, 49-year-old Alexander Skarsg&aring;rd is one of the many actors in the family, with his most notable roles being HBO's True Blood, Big Little Lies, The Legend of Tarzan, and more.&nbsp;

Next up, 45-year-old Gustaf Skarsg&aring;rd is also an actor. He is known for his roles in Vikings and&nbsp;Westworld, and has appeared in films such as&nbsp;Christopher Nolan's Oppenheimer, The Way Back, Kon-Tiki, and more.

A&nbsp; lesser-known Skarsg&aring;rd, 43-year-old Sam, dabbled in acting with a few roles in the early 2000s, but is actually following in his mother's footsteps rather than his father's. Sam is currently an ICU doctor.&nbsp;

<h3>Bill&nbsp;Skarsg&aring;rd&nbsp;&nbsp;</h3>

One of the most recognizable members of the Skarsg&aring;rd clan is Bill Skarsg&aring;rd. Best known for his chilling portrayal of Pennywise in the It franchise, Skarsg&aring;rd most recently reprised the character for HBO&rsquo;s prequel series Welcome to Derry.
Widely regarded as one of the most compelling actors working in horror today, Skarsg&aring;rd has built a reputation for fully disappearing into dark, psychologically complex roles. At 35, his filmography already includes several critically acclaimed titles, from the gothic reimagining <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/film-tv/nosferatu-director-robert-eggers-movie-interview" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Nosferatu</a> to the cult hit Barbarian. His latest project, Dead Man&rsquo;s Wire, further solidifies his status as a genre-defining performer.

First daughter in the family, Eija is the younger sister of the brothers at 33 years old. Although Eija isn't quite an actor, she is still in the industry as she is a casting director.&nbsp;

The youngest of the My/Stellan family tree, Valter is a 30-year-old actor who has appeared in projects such as The Playlist, B&ouml;rje &ndash; The Journey of a Legend, and the long-running Beck franchise, establishing himself as a familiar face in Scandinavian television.

After his separation from My Skarsg&aring;rd, Stellan married Irish producer Megan Everett in 2009. Together, they share two younger sons, who are half-siblings to Stellan&rsquo;s six older children.

Half-sibling to the rest of the Skarsg&aring;rd gang, Ossian is a 16-year-old already following the path of his half-siblings as an actor. He appeared in the 2017 film The Wife&nbsp;and the 2022 film Burn All My Letters&nbsp;

Last but not least, the youngest of the entire Skarsg&aring;rd crew.&nbsp;Kolbj&ouml;rn is 13 years old and is also on the track to be an actor.&nbsp;
