Judy Greer Says Alexander Skarsgard's Facial Hair Inspired Her in New Film


Judy Greer and Alexander Skarsgard star as the parents of a convicted school shooter in Michael Shannon’s ‘Eric Larue’

Judy Greer delivers a career-making performance in her new film Eric Larue — and a surprising aspect of costar Alexander Skarsgård’s character helped her in bringing the story to life. The actress noted how Janice doesn’t have much empathy for her husband — who, in her defense, spends a questionable amount of time with a coworker and fellow member of his church, played by Alison Pill, and has a habit of asking random women if they’d like neck rubs. While Greer’s performance is stellar from start to finish, a standout moment comes in the film’s final scene where, after visiting her son in prison for the first time, Janice abruptly pulls over and ditches her car (and sweater) to walk off into the sunset.
