Birthdays

On this day, October 20, in 1958, actor Viggo Mortensen was born in New York City. Although he could press the literary connection by pointing out that he is a published poet, we are really celebrating his birthday because, among many other notable roles, he stepped in last minute to play Aragorn in Peter Jackson’s film adaptation of Tolkien's Lord of the Rings trilogy, during which he: chipped a tooth while filming and wanted to superglue it back in so they could keep shooting, deflected a live dagger in a memorable fight scene, campaigned to have Aragorn speak more Elvish in the films, and adopted the two horses he rode in the films because he had bonded with them… Today, he turns 59.
