Viggo Mortensen’s Photography Appears In His Films
Viggo Mortensen made his film debut in 1985 when he played a young Amish farmer in Peter Weir’s Witness. Since then, Mortensen has established himself as an action hero, though his catalog spans greatly beyond one specific genre. Mortensen can do it all—from his harrowing performance in The Road to taking on an iconic science fiction character in Lord of the Rings. It also so happens that Mortensen’s talents reach well beyond just acting. Mortensen is a painter and photographer. His work has actually been featured in one of his own films. A Perfect Murder displays one of his original paintings.
