Bill, you gotta break down the code for this. ;-)
I remember Viggo Mortensen from early in his career in a film
called "The Reflecting Skin." V. is no Robert Wagner as
Prince Valiant I suppose. And he can't deliver the St. Crispin's
Day speech like Branaugh. As an actor I like Sean Bean better.
I was prob'ly the only one in the theatre the day I saw
the first Tolkien film who remarked, "That's Viggo Mortensen," as in
"What's he doing in this show?" Hugo Weaving was sort of spooky
too.
I was glad Harold Perrineau made it into the Matrix shows.
That surprised me as well.
