Mortensen is a part-time musician, a published poet, and a photographer and painter who has had exhibitions at art galleries such as the Robert Mann Gallery, Track 16 Gallery, Fototeca de Cuba, and Museet for Fotokunst in Denmark. On top of all that, he founded the independent publishing house Perceval Press.

A cynic might dismiss the poetry and photography as a "portrait of the film star as an artiste" bid, but Mortensen is no lightweight in the other creative worlds he inhabits. His work has been exhibited in galleries in the US, Cuba and Denmark, and he has published several books, some through his own company, Perceval Press.
