      %100. He's a painter and possibly also a sculptor I think I heard. Every role he has ever taken he just smashes out of the park. Lord of the Rings would have been his retirement fund, and everything else he does for the artistic value (not that Lord of the Rings isn't amazing & he was superb as Aragorn...no one else could have played that part).

      DarkWandererAU It’s called Perceval Press (percevalpress.com). You’ll find his own books and CDs there ofc (lots of collabs with Buckethead) but also loads of other works. Regarding his art and poetry you can look for “Viggo Mortensen’s art” pages on FB, twitter and Instagram, you’ll find samples there. I personally love his poems and photographs

      I have never seen a contemporary actor inhabiting his characters to such a degree. Hidalgo was hidalgo, Alatriste was Alatriste. Never for a moment did I think it's an actor in a costume, like when I see Will Smith or Leo DiCaprio. Even when I saw Elrond all I could think of was Agent Smith.

    Viggo Mortensen is a genious actor and a humble wise man. "Captain Fantastic" and "Green Book" are films that expand the reality, the ways of thinking and feeling about the reality. In the "Green Book" you just feel the taste and smell of that kentucky fried chicken, and how that picked jade stone feels, you live through the story with him. It's very rare precious experience. I has just watched the "Green Book" again.
