Viggo Mortensen: Sylvester Stallone
built 442 days ago
Critically acclaimed actor Viggo Mortensen made his feature-film debut playing Alexander Godunov's Amish brother in Witness (1985). The suave, handsome actor has subsequently portrayed a wide variety of characters, often unapologetic bad boys, opposite some of Hollywood's most popular actors, including Sylvester Stallone, Demi Moore, and Nicole Kidman.

It somehow seems ironic that Viggo Mortensen, virtuoso bad boy, wants to meet at the Snow White Coffee Shop, and now sits beneath a looming portrait of Prince Charming. You may remember him from his turn as the wired, paraplegic ex-con in Carlito's Way - he tries to rat on Al Pacino. In Sean Penn's The Indian Runner, he abandons Patricia Arquette in the throes of labour only to bash in Dennis Hopper's head in a bar, and in Daylight, his wannabe hero disastrously attempts to one-up Sylvester Stalone's rescue effort. In The Prophecy, Mortensen rips out Christopher Walken's heart and snacks on it as, yes, Lucifer. This is what you know. So when he pulls back your chair, apologises for the rain and hands you a book of his poetry called Ten Last Night, it comes as a something of a shock.

Seit seinem Leinwanddebüt als junger Amish-Farmer in Peter Weirs Der einzige Zeuge ist Viggo Mortensen ständig durch hervorragende Leistungen aufgefallen. Kritiker lobten ihn für seine Darstellungen in unterschiedlichen Filme wie Jane Campions Portrait of a Lady mit Nicole Kidman, Ein perfekter Mord mit Michael Douglas und Gwyneth Paltrow, Daylight mit Silvester Stallone und Kevin Spaceys Regiedebüt Albino Alligator. Besondere Beachtung fand seine Schauspielleistung in Sean Penns Bruderdrama Indian Runner. Unter Okkultthriller-Fans ist seine Darstellung des Teufels in God's Army legendär.
