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, with his most recent release Dead Man’s Wire. Check out our list to see where your favorites rank! —Bryce Marrero
