Viggo Mortensen: South America
built 442 days ago
Viggo Mortensen's style is kind of rugged yet laid-back. Almost invariably, he can be seen in a button-down shirt with an open collar and a pair of jeans -- like the reincarnation of the Marlboro Man. For colder weather, though, he'll wear a turtleneck or fur-collared jacket. In short, Mortensen blends American and Scandinavian elements to create a unique look.

Young Viggo was an artistic kid, always to be seen with a pencil and paper on hand. This would continue back in New York State when, his parents divorcing in 1969, he and his brothers would move with their mother from Argentina back to Watertown. It was a strange time, as if the whole world were changing, for they arrived back in America just after the first moon landing and just before the cultural phenomenon that was Woodstock (Viggo would, 30 years later, star in A Walk On The Moon, set at exactly this point, and very close to Watertown).

When upstart American hockey players beat the mighty Soviet team at the 1980 Winter Olympics, there was a future star in the stands Viggo Mortensen. "I was on winter break from college, and I volunteered to be a translator for the Scandinavian teams," the actor told The Orange County Register in Sunday's editions. "I only did it to get free hockey tickets."
