Hey all, thanks for boosting the channel with so many subs. I will try to make movie/gaming related videos although I am quite lazy with this channel, however I have made a new LOTR video which you might enjoy, with rare interviews from the cast and crew. Enjoy - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t09Vc4zK2m8

ps is there some type of content you would like to see from this channel?

Viggo's portrayal of Aragorn is a timeless masterpiece.

@LordofHogwarts 3 years ago

Wow, that's fascinating. Everyone always memed on the Aragorn's voice changing through the course of the trilogy, but he did it on purpose. Wow.

Nothing but respect for this man. Highly talented, intelligent, educated, and wise.

No one could have been better as Aragorn than Viggo

"No, I never read Lord of the Rings" ... "Nordic and Celtic folklore, which I am intimately familiar with." Haha I love this guy.

I love this guy. This interview happened in 2002, anti-islamic sentiment and American nationalism were at an all time high. Questioning the US's involvment in Iraq wasn't just the kind of thing that would lose you jobs, it was the kind of thing that got you attacked in the street. Viggo Mortensen went on air, with a T shirt he had made and engaged in discussion with the interviewer (Charlie Rose)about it. As a lot of the comments on this video are saying, history proved him right.

I absolutely love Viggo! Such a talented actor and an even greater human being. He is so much like Aragorn, an honourable man of integrity,

Damn he stood up against the unjust wars. That's inspiring!

and he remembered all th Elvish lyrics... amazing.

@martinjrgensen8234 3 years ago

The way he immersed himself in this character is fantastic. From carrying his sword on him all the time, to repairing his own costume, just epic

Wow how true Viggo's words are about what his shirt says.

@marymacdonald2379 2 years ago

Viggo was blessed with good genes; he remains so handsome all the years later.

Love Viggo’s comments about the war in Iraq. What a stellar guy!

@Mischkyy 3 years ago

Mr. Mortensen's comments aged like fine wine. He was a golden pick for these films and really put his best efforts towards it.

If I could aspire to be anyone in life it would be Aragorn, if I can’t be Aragorn then I would be Viggo Mortensen

Wow, America after 9/11 was wild. Huge respect to Viggo, standing up for what is right at a time where you're being called a 5th collumnist for doing so is very brave.
