Viggo was born to play Aragorn.<br>And Christopher Lee was, without a doubt, “the most interesting man in the world”, quite literally.

He was the absolute best man for the job, I can’t imagine anyone else playing Aragorn

Mortensen and Lee both earned it. Building up a great body of work and always giving a great performance. True professionals.

And Viggo is now as much a legend as Sir Christopher Lee is. There will never be another Aragorn as far as I'm concerned.

I can see how they would enjoy each other's company. Both wonderful actors.

I think we can all thank Viggo's son for rounding up the amazing cast with what he said...we will probably never get another so long yet utterly perfect casting as we got with LOTR

Viggo is the real deal. Authentic to the bone. <br> I did learn a lot from my Dad. He was uncomfortable with talking about hid feeling; instead, he lived his life with total authenticity. All of us kids recognized this faculty. He became a legend in the family.

Viggo is what is known as "the actor's actor" Absolute legend

I feel like Viggo is one of those actors who'd rather you remember his character than his name from the movie, he isn't the type of actor who you search out his work, but every-time you find him in a film its a very welcome surprise.

The first time we saw him was when he played Lucifer in The Prophecy. So chilling! Loved him in Hidalgo, too. What an incredible actor!

Vigo Mortensen is, by all accounts sir Christopher Lee’s inheritance to the filmworld in my humble opinion, a worthy successor to the legacy of a film titan. 😊
