Извинявам се, че го пускам в нова тема, но Дракона ми се отваря по около 5 минути от 3-тия път (ако се отвори въобще)...
А и защото днес има повод да вдигнем наздравица за този човек, който IMHO доскоро бе един от най-подценяваните творци (защото той е и писател, поет и художник) и актьори в Америка.
Лично аз го забелязах за пръв път в "Indian Runner" на Шон Пен...
So great a power and royalty was revealed in Aragorn...that many of the wild men paused...and some looked up doubtfully at the sky.

Малко биография...
Viggo is the eldest son of Grace and Viggo P. Mortensen. His father, who farmed in Denmark, met his mother, a New Yorker, in Norway. They wed and moved to New York where Viggo Jr. was born, before moving to South America where Viggo Sr. managed chicken farms and ranches in Venezuela and Argentina. Two more sons were born, Charles and Walter, before the marriage grew increasingly unhappy. When Viggo was seven, his parents sent him to a a strict boarding school, isolated in the foothills of the mountains of Argentina. Then, at age eleven, his parents divorced. His mother moved herself and the children back to her homestate of New York. Viggo attended Watertown High School and became a very good student and athlete. He graduated in 1976 and went on to St. Lawrence University in Canton, New York. After graduation, he moved to Denmark - driven by the need for a defining purpose in life. He began writing poetry and short stories while working many odd jobs, from dock worker to flower seller. But in 1982 he fell in love and followed his girlfriend back to New York City, hoping for a long romance and a writing career. He got neither.
In New York, Viggo found work waiting tables and bartending and began taking acting classes. Three years later, he made his film debut with a small part in Witness. Moving to Los Angeles in 1987, he appeared in Salvation! and married his co-star, Exene Cervenka. The two had a son, Henry. But after ten years of marriage, the couple divorced. In 1999, Viggo got a phone call about a movie he didn't know anything about: The Lord of the Rings. At first he didn't want to do it, because it would mean time away from his son. But Henry, a big fan of the books, told his father he shouldn't turn down the role. Viggo accepted the part and immediately began work on the project, which was already underway. Eventually, the success of Lord of the Rings made him a household name - a difficult consequence for the ever private and introspective Viggo.
И малко негова поезия...
TEN LAST NIGHT
I PASS A PILE OF BROKEN CHAIRS
ON OUR STREET CORNER
AND FEEL YOU
DRYING ON ME.
I TASTE THE BLOOD
THAT SHIMMERED
ON YOUR LIPS.
LINGERING, LIKE GUILT DOES.
