Viggo Peter Mortensen is an American-Danish theater and movie actor, poet, musician, photographer and painter He is best known for his role as Aragorn in The Lord of the Rings.
Hopefully not for MANY years. Mortensen was on fire in Eastern Promises. Such talent will be sorely missed, but then quitting when you're ahead it a great way to remain a legend
Viggo Mortensen is one of the brightest actors of today and it would be very disappointing to see him absent from the screen. Obviously, he works very hard to perfect any part he plays and maybe he takes on so much that he wears himself out. I wonder if the film producers, directors, etc. can keep up with him. Writing poetry and publishing might be temporary; let's hope so.
