In the latest episode of Go to Bat, we chat with Lord of the Rings star Viggo Mortensen about directing, composing, and starring in his latest film, The Dead Don’t Hurt.
We discuss what makes the perfect Western, working with Peter Jackson, and whether he’d return as Aragorn in a potential reboot.
Mortensen also reveals the films from his back catalogue that he would go to bat for, and the role that got away that almost changed his career.

Such an authentic, gentle, likable human being.

The most un-Hollywood actor I've seen since Paul Newman.

A truly great, multi talented actor and even better human being...

I saw the Dead Don't Hurt this week. I loved it and it shows his maturity and skill as a film maker. I think we will see more of Viggo behind the camera in the future.

First movie I saw with Viggo Mortensen in it was Young Guns II, he played a supporting role in the posse hunting Billy the Kid. Way back in 1990 IIRC. Now, no matter what he does or how great he does in his endeavors, he'll always be Aragorn. VM is the man.

Viggo is definitely up on my favorite actors list .... and he seems like a genuine nice person ... very entertaining interview

@DenaInWyo 2 месяца назад

Honestly, the most attractive man alive right now. Brilliant, kind, insightful, poetic. I would love to get to know his mind.

@grahamparr3933 Месяц назад

Bit of an insult calling him a “jack of all trades”, the full quote finishes “and master of none” I would argue he is a master of many.

Viggo Mortensen, such a great artist and human being! He seems really exhausted here, even though he gives his best as always. Hope he can get some rest. 🌼

@heidimeigs5192 2 месяца назад

He is a fantastic actor. Most of the time I’ll watch a film simply because he’s in it. I would love to see him and Mads Mikkelsen in a film together. I would watch them in literally anything.

FAR FROM MEN....Yes!! GREAT film. Probably a little slow for most American audiences, but I loved it. Thanks Viggo!

I'll never watch anyone else play Aragorn except Viggo. I'm glad the platoon role went to Wilem Dafoe he knocked it out of the park.

@mrwhite2628 2 месяца назад

I recently watched the movie "13 lives", with Vogho playing a British diver. He was outstanding in the role! Viggo is a great entertainer.

that's how things go in that business - lots of close calls, near misses, and forks in the road. all we typically see are the hits and the success

A realistic guy. He's enjoyable. He has an imagination that goes with his pragmatism. It's Viggo Mortensen. He's also older. I'm keeping all the good things in mind.

He's also great in the 2006 Spanish film Alatriste, worth the time, very intense.

Vitto's best for me were A Perfect Murder and a History of Violence. I'm sorry if you hate me for not liking Green Book or The Indian Runner, but I like tension and suspense more. Great performances of elegance and subtlety are fine, but too often excitement and suspense win out. It seems like the multi-talented Vitto ended up in a lot of bad movies or had small parts. Vitto promised me a role in his new movie, but has not returned my calls.

yes! the charm! but he would be too similar to le chieffre I guess, or maybe he's not "cold enough"

You’ll like it only if you are fond of cronenberg’s movies and genres alike. It’s a unique and unpopular way of storytelling.

What a shame, regarding Platoon... All that preparation he did :( But Viggo is a great actor, I can't wait to see this new movie of his!

@Torstenn-b3x 3 месяца назад

Wow, that's a _really_ crappy way for Oliver Stone to have treated someone _he gave the role to_ initially! I mean, if they wanted to replace Viggo with Willem because they thought Willem was a better fit or a bigger star, fair enough I suppose, but not to tell him at all and let him find out in the newspaper?

No one can be Aragorn other than Viggo! It just wouldn't work!

Was he trying to be the most boring person alive? Maybe it’s just the beige on beige “worker” garb that threw him off.
