Viggo Mortensen, actor, painter, poet... and muse!

Actors are a rare breed. It is their job to take everything that makes up their personality and mold it into someone completely different, sometimes pure and virtuous and sometimes malevolent and the very embodiment of evil itself. It has to be a tough gig. Few people can do it effectively. Even fewer still can safely navigate the hazardous road conditions on the thoroughfare to celebrity and keep a level head and a rational ego.
One person who has done all of this and more is Viggo Mortensen. A soft-spoken man who has appeared in such films as Witness, Crimson Tide, The Portrait of a Lady, G.i Jane, A Perfect Murder and The Lord of The Rings, Viggo is an artist of extraordinary range and depth who does not feel the need to constrict his perception of art to any one medium.
He is an accomplished photographer, writer, and painter whose artistic endeavors are all pieces of the larger puzzle that make up who Viggo Mortensen is.
