Quote: Down to Earth

[wowie]

Yes I can tell you this - and its good news. Viggo is the most down to earth person you will ever meet. I can tell you this with confidence that he is very proud of his early work because he didn't take any work that he didn't care about or believe had some redeeming value. When I was living in his vicinity, he was offered tons of work and he if didn't dig it and think it had interesting or redeeming value he wouldn't do it. I haven't hung with him for a few years so I can't tell you otherwise - but I can say that the Vigster that I knew was awesome and generous and had fun at the jobs he took. He taught me so much about growing up and believing in myself I owe him so much. If you ever get a chance to meet him you will not soon forget the experience!

The Vigster? Somehow I can't see Viggo responding to that one.
But he sure was gorgeous back then, still is. I wonder what he found "redeeming" in TCM III?

Well the apron was rather attractive....

I seem to remember him saying that the original version was pretty funny, and that they had lots of laughs.

I've also read (might have even been in a Wm Butler interview) that the nail polish and frilly apron on Tex were Viggo's ideas.

Off subject, I know... How on earth did William keep from sneezing with his nostril full of fake blood? : )

I'll say it now, I'll say it forever like the silly fan girl that I am.... I LOVE VIGGO!!!!

I have never seen this movie, but Frank Hopkins is one of the hottest Viggo characters, IMO, and Tex looks like a younger version of him. Quite droolworthy- makes me want to endure the TCM...

*resigned sigh*

It's not bad if you take it as a total goof.

oh, I totally agree with you on that! I havent seen TCM either, but omg, Hidalgo is one of my favorites, and yes, isnt he just totally yummy as Frank Hopkins!!! He does look adorable in the pictures as Tex. I will have to track that movie down and see it!

omg, my sexy texy...I love this movie , it is so ridiculously funny, and viggo is proud of this movie, he is not happy with the way they pieced it together, alot has been cut from this movie, he had a different death scene then the one that is shown, he survives the fire and gets caught in a trap in the woods. There is a clip in the dvd version, the new release, and it shows this death scene
