Bill Skarsgard auditioning for “It” (2017). Playing Pennywise is an incredible opportunity for any actor, but filling those big Tim Curry clown boots is no easy task. I think Skarsgard did a fantastic job, constructing a worthy evil entity-like character to rival the amazing performances given by the kids in the film. He had interesting physical idiosyncrasies that he brought into the film, which worked so well for the character, like that creepy smile or his eyes looking in different directions
