[color=0066ff]I've agreed to take over FLP duties for a while. I hope I do a good job.

Since I had a Lord of The Rings hottie last week and since some of you mentioned him I thought I'd keep with the theme. This week's FLP hunk is Viggo Mortensen.

Bio: Since his screen debut as a young Amish Farmer in Peter Weir's "Witness" (1985)Viggo Mortensen's career has been marked by a steady string of well-rounded performances. Critics have continually recognized his work in over thirty movies, including such diverse projects as Jane Campion's "The Portrait of a Lady" (1996), Sean Penn's "The Indian Runner" (1991), Brian De Palma's "Carlito's Way" (1993), Ridley Scott's "G.I. Jane" (1997), Tony Scott's "Crimson Tide" (1995), Andrew Davis' "A Perfect Murder" (1998), Ray Loriga's "La Pistola de mi hermano" (1997) and Tony Goldwyn's "A Walk on the Moon" (1999).
Born in New York to a Danish father and an American mother, Mortensen spent the early part of his childhood in Manhattan. His family traveled a great deal and he spent several years living in Venezuela, Argentina, and Denmark. He began acting in New York, studying with Warren Robertson. He appeared in several plays and movies, and eventually moved to Los Angeles, where his performance in "Bent" at the Coast Playhouse earned him a Drama-logue Critic's Award. Mortensen is also an accomplished poet, photographer, and painter.

He had an art exhibit in a gallery in LA around this time last year...he started painting when he played an artist for "A Perfect Murder." The paintings for that film were all his.

Thanks julie.

Thanks Julie! Somehow I totally missed last week's!!!!!!!!!! After seeing this one I KNEW you had done Orlando last week so I went searching. Great posts then and today. Just to add a tidbit about Orlando.....he was going to star in Troy with Brad Pitt but I believe that's being put on hold because of the conditions around the world being too dangerous.

Anyway, just wanted to say thanks for putting a spark in my day!
