In many ways, Swedish actor Alexander Skarsgard is a similar proposition to Jensen Ackles. Both men are charismatic TV stars who have built up huge fan bases with their shows and both have the potential to become popular leading men in their own right… so why has Skarsgard been placed higher on this list than Ackles?

In the role of Eric Northman on HBO’s True Blood, Skarsgard plays an authoritative anti-hero whose outsider status often thrusts him into conflict with humanity. Sounds familiar, right? Skarsgard brings intensity to every one of his scenes on the show, and this is one of the key traits that Aquaman needs to set him apart from other heroes in the DC Cinematic Universe.

While he is obviously more than just a pretty face, it also doesn’t hurt that Skarsgard has a large following based on his looks, generating the kind of appeal Warner Bros. needs if Aquaman is to ever become its own successful franchise. It’s only a matter of time before Skarsgard becomes a leading man, and this would have been the ideal platform to use as a kick off point.

Why he deserves to play Aquaman more than Jason Momoa: Skarsgard has proven that he can pull off a role very similar to Aquaman in True Blood.
