Viggo was in the Harrison Ford film 'Witness', playing one of the Amish men, with blonde hair and short stubbly beard. I watched it on TV the other night. Seeing him in LOTR a few days later, beating seven shades of crap out of the dark army was a bit of a culture shock!

Knowing what Hollywood is like with 'plain' actors in major roles, I was surprised that a better looking actor wasn't chosen, but having seen the energetic performance that Viggo put in, I'm vaguely impressed. How many actors would put up with having a tooth broken on set and not immediately scream for a lawyer, demand 3 weeks sick leave and the ministrations of an on-set dentist?
