What has been your favorite performance by Viggo Mortensen?

[kellifranklin]

Viggo is such a tremendous actor. Of course I loved the TLOTR trilogy with him in those films, but I think his greatest performance was in Eastern Promises. He’s such a gifted actor. As many times he’s been nominated for Oscars it’s time for him to get his flowers.

[We_Are_All_Vultures]

Everyone had a crush on Legolas but I liked Strider. ❤️‍🔥 He's a fantastic actor. Eastern promises was good too 💯 it's a shame he didn't get more roles.

[BerndSeichter]

Aragorn was what Set this movie apart. He Played the role to Perfection. You could sense that the acted kindness was genuine.

[kathysalkeldbonilla]

I don't think his life has been tragic. He's a tremendously gifted actor and has an incredible mind, as well as speaking several languages. A Renaissance man if you will... Thanks for sharing, I enjoyed the video!

[laurahiggins]

Loved him in Hidalgo. Not surprised at all by his love of animals & love of horses especially. I would watch any movie he's in & really respect him as a human. God Bless.

The whole Hollywood fandom thing is not something I appreciate or participate in, but Viggo is different. I've always enjoyed him on screen. He is only a handful of actors that captures your attention and holds it, even when his role portrays not the nicest of people.

[multiannette]

He was born in New York, raised in Argentina, Venezuela and upstate New York. He has lived in Denmark for shorter periods when he was very young. Holds American and Danish passports. He speaks fluent Spanish, English and Danish. When he is on Danish TV, he seems incredibly intelligent, reflective and he has a clear artistic talent.

[karengilbert]

Finally, a movie I can't wait to see in theaters, "The Dead Don't Hurt". Looking forward to seeing him in this film.

[Contraltissimo]

I'm sure every person on the planet holds both traits you love and traits you hate.... but either way, it's just about always saddening to hear about how people hurt. I don't know Viggo Mortensen, except as an actor, and that's barely a scratch on the surface. But I have heard people speak of him as a kindly and generous soul.
I wish him peace and happiness.

[Kcangma]

Love him as Aragorn❤Very strong character.

[karelklimanek]

Excellent work! Videos like this are usually very shallow and sensation-seeking, but you've managed to fill yours with really interesting and quite complex information. Thank you.

[dvg]

He is a hidden gem. His life is tremendously idlyic. His childhood. his early kearning, his parents relationship, the number of life experiences he dealt with at such an early age has firmed him to be suttle in his life description. But there is Much more to his talent laje than ever anyone caring to know. Thats probably the way he wants it too. To say he a successful actor is just one kayer of himself. The others talents he has been fed at an earpy age allowed him to do and be a remiassance man. I really think people are missing hls depth and capabilities as an artist and teacher. Any director with a script that in need of a one particuclar take of his opinion on how to aporoach a character with complicated scenrios would benefit greatly by just having a conversation with him about our 5 senses or lifes elements. Such a conversation would divert into insirpational confidence in his integrity and character. And that director would be challenged to channel his co-vision.

[dianeclerico]

Loved him in the Green Book could watch this movie over and ovèr and have!

[MassiveSuccessVids]

Insight into actors that you provide is tremendous due diligence as mostly we cast actors when we don't even know what they are like as people off the screen, and we often think they are who they seem to be on the screen. Your and other videos that provide an insight into who these actors are in real life is critical & I appreciate your work greatly, Nicki. At one point I entertained casting Viggo in a film, but it fell through. Thank God. If we worked together now, better informed, we may have a better director-actor working relationship. Thank You. Amen.

[Drblock]

I find it funny how there's a clip of him for practically every single sentence you've said in here. shows how many movies he's played in lmao

[wendyodell]

In fact most people do not realize that dementia deadly. Not many people realize dementia can kill you. My own father passed away with it.
My sympathies go out to you and your family Mr. Mortensen. Dementia is an incredibly hard disease to watch your love one to succumb to. 🙏🫶

[shannongallagher]

Eastern promises is by far his best film

[Molynox]

this is deep, Super observant to how things effected him growing up, respect

[jenniferaashiem]

I hope with the way he constantly challenges his brain, with speaking all those languages, keeps any chance of dementia away. He is a GOD.
