Alexander Skarsgård has impressed the Saturday Night Live cast with one key characteristic amid prep for his hosting debut on the sketch comedy show.

The Swedish actor appears to be very hands-on in the prep before his episode, and the quality is deeply appreciated by cast members such as Veronika Slowikowska, Jeremy Culhane and Kam Patterson.

“Alexander Skarsgard has only been here a few days, but he’s already fitting right in,” Veronica stated in the promo.

“Alexander brings so much to the table. Like he can do things no one here can do,” Jeremy added, after a sequence of him reaching for things for the cast plays.

In a cut from the montage of scenario Kam simply puts “He tall,” of the 6-foot-4 actor who showed off that it was breeze to grab things from high places on the Studio 8H set.

At one point, a tall cast member Ben Marshall interjects to say “Guys, I’m tall too. I can help you reach stuff.”

The rest of the members then shun and insult him, making it clear that the special treatment was exclusively reserved for Alexander.

Who is the highest paid SNL member ever?

Kenan Thompson is reportedly the highest paid member on Saturday Night Live.
