All Bill Skarsgård Movies and TV Ranked by Tomatometer
The son of legendary actor Stellan Skarsgård, and the younger brother of Emmy award-winning actor Alexander Skargård, Bill Skarsgård has carved out a reputation for playing monsters, weirdos, and psychopaths. While having started his career as a child actor, he first gained major recognition for playing the disturbed Roman Godfrey in Hemlock Grove, before landing his first major American role in The Divergent Series: Allegiant.
Then came his breakout role as Pennywise in the box-office hit IT. Critics praised Skarsgård’s terrifying performance, bringing to life Stephen King’s horror icon with a laugh that lingers and haunts us far after the credits have rolled. Skarsgård would go on to play Pennywise a few more times in IT: Chapter Two and IT: Welcome to Derry, but portraying alien killer clowns aren’t the only times Skarsgård has scared the pants off of us: He played an undead vigilante in The Crow remake, a relentless vampire in Nosferatu, and an eccentric stranger in Barbarian. And when he wasn’t scaring us, he was either kicking ass, like in the Sam Raimi-produced Boy Kills World, or getting his ass kicked as the bad guy in John Wick: Chapter 4.
In celebration of his blood-soaked career, we’ve collected all Bill Skarsgård movies and television shows, and sorted them by Tomatometer. Check out our list to see where your favorites rank! —Bryce Marrero
