Viggo Peter Mortensen, Jr. is an American actor, poet, musician, photographer and painter. He made his film debut in Peter Weir's 1985 thriller "Witness," and subsequently appeared in many notable films of the 1990s, including "The Indian Runner," "Carlito's Way," "Crimson Tide," "Daylight," "The Portrait of a Lady," "G.I. Jane," "A Perfect Murder," "A Walk on the Moon" and "28 Days."
Mortensen grew in prominence in the early 2000s with his role as Aragorn in the epic film trilogy "The Lord of the Rings." In 2005, Mortensen won critical acclaim for David Cronenberg's crime thriller "A History of Violence." Two years later, another Cronenberg film "Eastern Promises" earned him further critical acclaim. A third teaming with Cronenberg in "A Dangerous Method" resulted in a Golden Globe Best Supporting Actor nomination. Other well-received films in recent years have included "Appaloosa" and the 2009 film adaptation of Cormac McCarthy's novel "The Road."
Aside from acting, his other artistic pursuits include fine arts, photography, poetry and music. In 2002, he founded the Perceval Press to publish the works of little-known artists and authors.
