Bill Skarsgård

Bill Istvan Günther Skarsgård (born 9 August 1990) is a Swedish actor. He starred in the dystopian thriller The Divergent Series: Allegiant (2016), the espionage thriller Atomic Blonde (2017), the Netflix horror series Hemlock Grove (2013–2015), and appeared in two Stephen King adaptations, as “The Kid” in the Hulu series Castle Rock (2018–present) and Pennywise the Dancing Clown in the two-part adaptation of ItIt: Chapter One and It: Chapter Two (2017, 2019).

I started acting when I was 9. I did smaller parts here and there as a kid, and then as I grew older I started resisting it, because I didn’t like the idea of being, at the time, number four of the Skarsgård actors. So in high school I majored in science and was like, “Maybe I’ll do something rebellious and become a doctor.”
