That's cool! ^^ He's a cool actor, *wonders what his poetry is like*

"Oh the orcs, the orcs, they smite the horizon with their silly little swords and funny faces.
I find Arwen oh so exceptionally pretty, yes prettier than a pink penny.
Gandalf's beard flows from his chin like...a magestic waterfall tumbling over thick gnarled rocks.
Balrog likes not the taste of wizard stew.. and he is allergic to white wizards too. (isn't that racist?)
Oh far far away I see these shores with little midget things. Oh wait, that's Bilbo." :eh:

Poet, artist, photographer, actor, devout Lutheran, and a humble loving father. Love it! Learned in Spanish, Danish, and English he's good at picking up different languages. I love how some of his poems talk about the hard facts of life (the way there's death and horrible things). Not that I'm that way, but its the harsh realities. *sighs* He's so great.

*romantic sigh*

He's pretty swell isn't he? Pitty he's about 20 years too old and isn't a Christian.

On the contrary, Mr. Mortensen is a Lutheran. ^ ^

But is he a practising Lutheran? Does he have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ?

Well, actually, I think it's Aragorn I'm in love with. Stupid Arwen.......

Yes and Yes.

I too adore Aragorn (and will have my weapons ready to sla- uh... 'protect' Arwen at need. *evil grin*), but I like what Viggo represents (at least to me), and that's simplicity and unity.

That's okay, I much rather have the single artistic father who does nothing without his son's consent; and goes home every Halloween and Christmas to spend time with his son, no matter where he's at. Whoa... that was long sentence. XD

another interesting tid-bit, viggo mortenson played in an older movie starring harrison ford called witness. He played a quiet amish guy. He had about three scenes, two or which were in the background, and one line "Don't do it!." I saw that several times before lord of the rings came out, and when I saw again afterward and was surprised.

PS, see witness, it's a good movie.

omg! i saw Witness before i knew Viggo was in it, and when he first came up, i was like, "That's him! It's him! COOL!!!" ya... i thought that one was great, even if (dare i say it...) Viggo wasn't there. *gulps* i can't believe i just said that...
