Uncle PatchesHOST
Of course, Star Wars, The Empire Strikes Back, Superman II, The Return of the Jedi, and of course, he was Darth Vader in The Walking Swordfighting Vader.
Uncle PatchesHOST
Actors he trained were Errol Flynn, Sean Connery, Christopher Lambert, Adrian Paul, Carrie Elwes, Mandy Patinkin, Richard Gere, Antonio Banderas, Catherine Zeta-Jones, Orlando Bloom, Viggo Mortensen, Johnny Depp, Pierce Brosnan, Lizzie Hohan, and Mark Hamill.
Uncle PatchesHOST
A lot of these aren't a surprise knowing the films that he was in.
Uncle PatchesHOST
What got me was Errol Flynn.
AndrewHOST
Really? Yeah.
TimHOST
Viggo Mortensen.
TimHOST
I would do Harry Potter.
TimHOST
Who wouldn't? Who wouldn't be in a Harry Potter film? You'd be an Australian wizard.
Matt WallHOST
I would never say that.
Matt WallHOST
So then this like troglodyte guy who was fucking Vigo Mortensen and his friends run away because the dogs are eating them.
Mike CadaverHOST
Vigo the Carpathian, not Vigo Mortensen.
Matt WallHOST
Yeah, same thing.
Matt WallHOST
So then like Sam Neill's like, oh shit, we should probably get out of here.
Dave KargerGUEST
So yeah, that's one of the things that was a great surprise to me about doing these 50 interviews for this book was learning about the kinds of movies that people that I really like and admire love themselves.
Larry MantleHOST
One of my favorite films, again, one that's not talked about a lot these days, the 1962 Kirk Douglas starring Lonely Are the Brave and the terrific actor Viggo Mortensen chose that one.
Larry MantleHOST
What did Viggo say about Lonely Are the Brave?
Dave KargerGUEST
Well, Viggo Mortensen, for people who don't know, is such a Renaissance man.
Dave KargerGUEST
He's not only an actor, he's also a writer.
Dave KargerGUEST
He's a filmmaker.
OrionGUEST
wow i wasn't expecting this question this is actually really fascinating um polino I think, especially now, especially now that we get young Polino, I, in my head, I know people have described him as, like, any other way.
OrionGUEST
He just, in my head, Polino just looks like Viggo Mortensen.
OrionGUEST
Damn, that's good.
OrionGUEST
Oh, that's so good.
OrionGUEST
He's just Viggo.
OrionGUEST
Do we do
JoshHOST
Viggo Mortensen as old Polino and then the guy who's playing Aragorn in Hunt for Golem from Fifty Shades of Grey as young Polino?
OrionGUEST
I don't know.
Jay GlatfelterGUEST
I'm talking about the Amish cast.
Jay GlatfelterGUEST
And then all of a sudden, it's Viggo Mortensen.
Jay GlatfelterGUEST
Yes.
Brandon MindelHOST
Popping up out of nowhere, I actually...
JesseHOST
So things definitely went quick.
JesseHOST
Um, but what I did pick up, I picked up the reflecting skin, which is a, a really fascinating kind of Southern Gothic, uh, movie from the 90s starring Viggo Mortensen that I watched about a year ago.
JesseHOST
And I think it was a film movement partner label release that had gone out of print.
JesseHOST
So I was glad that that came back and I was able to pick it up because otherwise that one's kind of expensive.
Pamela GrayGUEST
There's a little bit of a reference to it in the musical, in the movie.
Pamela GrayGUEST
It was actually a Viggo Mortensen ad lib when Pearl asks about, you know, why is your brother in Asia? What's he doing there? He goes, killing people.
Pamela GrayGUEST
I didn't write that line, great line.
Pamela GrayGUEST
Well, now it's in the musical and it's sung about.
Jeffrey ScottHOST
He's
Aaron RadcliffeHOST
played by Viggo Mortensen,
Jeffrey ScottHOST
of all people.
Jeffrey ScottHOST
Yeah, he's great in the role.
LaneHOST
I don't know.
LaneHOST
Like where you don't have to bring back or ask Viggo Mortensen.
LaneHOST
Don't have to bring back Orlando Bloom.
LaneHOST
Like we don't have to recreate 30 years ago.
10 MINS LATER
LaneHOST
Again, stuff that Tolkien wouldn't have been down for.
LaneHOST
I mean, that line was crossed a long time ago, but this goes even further towards that.
LaneHOST
The point on Viggo Mortensen that... that I was literally thinking about when you said, does Andy Serkis have maybe less of a problem with AI because of all the motion? Yes, totally.
LaneHOST
I mean like literally he's only, he's majority only in the movie proxy.
