| Quotes | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Viggo on Aragorn and filming LOTR: | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| "Aragorn is probably the most physical character in the story, and that's part of who he is; his physical courage or wrecklessness, depending on how you look at it, is part of what gets him through" "Aragorn is deeply aware of the burden of his heritage, and he carries the knowledge that, all too soon, he will have to reveal his true self in order to play his part in the fight against Sauron. That burden, that knowledge, is what shapes and colours his preceptions" "It was tough. You saw these kind of things among crew members. All of a sudden someone is in a corner crying and someone goes over, puts their arm around them and takes them for a walk. The interaction between the cast and crew was a complete team" |

| Orlando Bloom on Viggo: | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| "Viggo used to call me 'elf boy', and I'd call him 'filthy human'. As an elf I never got a scratch on me, never got dirty. And Vig would come out with blood and sweat all over him. And he'd say to me, 'oh, go manicure your nails'." | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Barry M.Osborne on Viggo: | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| "Viggo is the perfect actor to play a man who is struggling to redeem himself from his ancestory and heritage. He's incredibly dedicated...he became Aragorn and he brings a real power to the role" | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
