Viggo Mortensen

Viggo Mortensen (New York, 20. oktobar 1958.), dansko-američki filmski glumac, poznat po ulozi Aragorna u filmskoj trilogiji Gospodar prstenova.

U filmskoj trilogiji Gospodar prstenova Petera Jacksona Aragorna je utelovio Viggo Mortensen. Zanimljivo je da na set prvo pozvan Stuart Townsend ali je reditelj, nakon mesec dana proba, zaključio da je premlad i na snimanje pozvao Mortensena. U filmskoj verziji, Aragorn mora prevladati sumnju u vlastite sposobnosti da vlada kraljevstvom. Međutim, takva sumnja ne postoji. Uloga Aragorna je prvobitno bila ponuđena Daniel Day-Lewisu ali ju je odbio.

Otac mu je Danac, a majka Amerikanka. Rano detinjstvo proveo je na Manhattanu. Njegova porodica često se selila tako da je nekoliko godina proveo živeći u Venezueli, Argentini i Danskoj. Počeo je da glumi u New Yorku uz Warrena Robertsona. Nastupio je u nekoliko priredba i filmova te se preselio u Los Angeles gde mu je glumačka karijera puno brže napredovala. Karijeru mu je obiležio stabilan niz dobro odrađenih poslova. Ima sina Henrya s poznatom američkom punk pevačicom Exene Crvenkom s kojom je proveo 11 godina u braku.
