<br> I was just reading <a href="http://www.nydailynews.com/front/story/167998p-146774c.html" target-"blank">an interview with Viggo Mortensen</a>. I have said before (truthfully) that, much as I admire Mortensen, it's Aragorn I'm crazy over, and I don't really like Mortensen's looks - but my goodness, every interview I hear or read with him impresses me more than the last.

For instance, in this one, about why he's not sorry to be issing the Oscars: "In the last couple years, I've gotten more attention than I'd need in 10 lifetimes," he says. How many stars would think that?

Or: "Lord of the Rings' was like a four-year class in mythology. It ­reaffirmed on a daily basis the ­value of multiculturalism and compassion." What a wonderful understanding of the text and context.

Thanks for the link. That's a great quote about LOTR, I'd got the impression he really understood it and that confirmed it. I'm with you on the being crazy about Aragorn rather than Mortensen, but if he found a "good naked role" I might drag myself to see it *g*.

Yes, I imagine I could be persuaded to see it without much difficulty!
