The Skarsgard family are no strangers to success, as the family unit led by the impeccable Stellan has generated some incredibly successful actors, including Gustaf, Valter, Alexander and of course, Bill. The blessings and burdens of fame are something that Bill Skarsgard has been around since his childhood, so it's safe to say he could understand the massive stardom of Bowie.

For most people, seeing Bill Skarsgard's face is peculiar, as they know him best for being coated under layers of clown make-up in the role of Pennywise. But, this actor is far more than his creepy IT counterpart, as he's also proven to be a great comedy star in the movie Simple Simon and a versatile actor in general.

His jack of all trades performance skills means that he can sink into all of the roles he plays, which would be very beneficial to this performance. Of course, he would need to work heavily on encompassing all of Bowie's mannerisms, but he'd undoubtedly be the man for that job.
