Stellan Skarsgård: Father Figure
The Father of the acting, (and nude scene) dynasty, Swedish actor Stellan Skarsgård began his professional acting career at the age of 21. The Swedish actor appeared mostly in Swedish films and television shows until 1985 when he made his American film debut in Noon White. American audiences got to know Stellan from his roles in films including; The Hunt for Red October, Good Will Hunting and of course in Mamma Mia and it's sequel.

Stellan's first on-screen nude scene was in 1999's The Unbearable Likeness of Being, and has since appeared naked on screen over a half-a-dozen. Like father, like sons they say and in addition to his good looks, Stellan obviously also passed on his attitude about nude scenes which clearly rubbed off on his four actor sons.
Mamma Mia (2008)Although Stellan's last nude scene was over a decade ago, the now 73 year old continues to work steadily. Movie goers last enjoyed Stellan on screen in Thor: Love and Thunder and as Baron Vladimir Harkonnen in the recent re-makes of Dune. Below are two of my favorite nude scenes from Stellan. All clips of the Skarsgård's scenes thanks to xyzpdq.
Breaking The Waves (1995)'I've made six films for Disney, and they have a clause in their contracts called the morality clause that I've always refused to sign.'
Aberdeen (2000)The Skarsgård's: Alexander & Bill
Alexander and Bill are arguably the most well known of the Skarsgård siblings, with Alexander being the oldest, and Bill being the forth son of Stellan and My Skarsgård. Both have had long and successful career on television and film. Both also have a long list of nude scene credits. I included the two brothers together as I've featured many of their nude scenes previously on the site.
AlexanderI can't not include a few clips from True Blood. Oh, those Sunday nights I looked forward to butt shots from Alexander, Ryan Kwanten and Joe Manganiello. There's also the brief frontal in the show's finale. (See clip below)
The Skarsgård's: The Second Oldest, Gustaf
Like his famous father, Gustaf hasn't shied away from sharing the family jewels on screen with nude scenes in several TV shows and movies. His most notable was probably his turn in the 2013 drama Vi.
Vi (2013)This is a story of IDA and KRISTER. It's about a relationship that goes to hell. They are both crazy in love but manage to strangle the supply of oxygen and adapt to each other in a way that will lead to catastrophic consequences.
The Skarsgård's: Valter, the Baby Brother
28 year old Valter Skarsgård is the youngest brother, and youngest sibling in the family. Valter began acting in the early 2000's when he was just seven years old. American audiences may know Valter best from his appearances TV thriller series Black Lake.
'An unsettling chain of events are set into motion when a group of young friends an visit an abandoned ski resort in the far reaches of Sweden.'
Börje follows the story of Börje Salming, the first Swedish player who was inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame, exploring his journey from his humble roots to becoming an NHL legend.
Valter's most recent credits have been his roles in the television series Börje and STHLM Blackout. Valter hasn't yet done the level of nudity that his famous brothers have, but he's still young and there's plenty of time...
