Note of Interest - several directors of films Viggo Mortensen has appeared in are also, or have been, actors (Betty Thomas, Kevin Spacey, Tony Goldwyn and Sean Penn), at least three of which were debuting as directors. 

The link below called Film Clips goes to the Eonline pages (external link) for Viggo. Many of his films'  trailers can be downloaded there. NB There are two films listed there which Viggo does not appear in, being "Original Sin" and "Supernova".  At the foot of that page is a new interview about his artwork, prior to that the interview "Man behind the sword" is also an excellent clip to download.
