The multi-award winning Swede has gone on to win his second Guldbagge award since wrapping up on 'Vikings'; this time for his performance as Martin Schibbye in the 2019 thriller '438 dagar' ('438 Days'). He shared this honour with the film's co-star, Matias Varela.

Skarsgård appeared in five episodes of HBO's dystopian western 'Westworld' as Karl Strand, the show's primary antagonist during its second season. He also portrayed the legendary wizard, Merlin, in all ten episodes of Frank Miller and Tom Wheeler's Netflix series 'Cursed'.

During his days on the show, Gustaf worked on award-winning Danish love story 'Darling', released in 2017. A year later, he co-starred in another Scandinavian project 'Little Match Girl', based on the fairly-tale by 19th century poet Hans Christian Andersen.

The show's boat builder recently concluded work on the drama 'Utvandrarna' ('The Emigrants') based on the book by Vilhelm Moberg. The film follows the journey of numerous Swedes emigrating to the United States between the 1840s and 1850s.
