, a fan asked Valter Skarsgård, the son of Stellan Skarsgård, if he benefitted from nepotism. He replied,"No, I don’t really. That’s not how it works.""Yes, I audition for most of my projects, and if I don't, it's because the director has seen one of my other projects," he said.Meanwhile, Valter's older brother, Bill Skarsgård,"always felt a very strong need" to become a successful actor on his own.
