His performance in the show garnered him significant recognition and helped establish him as a prominent actor in both the television and film industries at the time. Skarsgård's Scandinavian heritage — he is Swedish — made him an ideal candidate for the role, along with his natural blonde hair and towering physique.

This reading could take place either in person or, for actors not located in Los Angeles, through recorded auditions. Subsequent rounds of auditions might include new sides designed to showcase different facets of the character, pairing the actor with another to assess chemistry, and even testing costumes or sets to gauge how naturally the performer blended into the superhero world.
