BIOGRAPHY Viggo Peter Mortensen, born October 20, 1958 in New York City, is a Danish-american theater and movie actor, a published poet, musician, photographer and painter.
He is best known for his role as Aragorn II in Peter Jackson's The Lord of the Rings film trilogy. He was a last-minute replacement for the role originally meant for Stuart Townsend, and wouldn't have taken the part if it hadn't been for his son's enthusiasm for J. R. R. Tolkien's trilogy. After several years of experience in live theater, he began his movie career playing an Amish farmer in Peter Weir's Witness.
He has also appeared in Jane Campion's The Portrait of a Lady, Sean Penn's Indian Runner, Brian DePalma's Carlito's Way, Tony Scott's Crimson Tide, Ridley Scott's G.I. Jane, Tony Goldwyn's A Walk on the Moon, Philip Ridley's Reflecting Skin, Andrew Davis's A Perfect Murder, and David Cronenberg's A History of Violence. View GALLERY:
