Quote of the Day

[wowie]

I didn't envy [Mortensen] when he arrived. Viggo walked into a very tense situation, threw himself into his role amazingly and quickly won the respect of everyone on the crew.

Recalling Viggo's first day on set: The filming was going on at the far end of the [Prancing Pony] set when I noticed this figure in a dark hood, smoking a pipe, sitting in another corner of the set altogether. Then I realized: it was Viggo. He wasn't required in the scene, he was just sitting there, observing the vibe, he was actually being Strider, being the outsider, the lonely man in the corner that no one spoke to.

What a movie entrance! I have been rewatching LOTR all week -- the extras and cast commentaries and I am really in lust with Aragorn and Viggo even more.

wwowie, I have been *SO* enjoying your quips and quotes ... you have tossed several in here that I'd never heard before! Would you, or will you let me, post some of these notable ones on Viggo_Daily along with a regular picture post? Some of them are just so ... Viggo! They should be shared.

Let me know, hey?

Post away! Just keep the source in there... I've found them primarily from obsession's site and from viggo-works, but have quoted the *source* not the page.

Cool beans! I will post your original source for them and thanx!

I still remember that strange feeling I had when I first saw that "hooded" man in the Prancing Pony! Then I heard that voice of his...and he ripped off the hood!!!! I've been hopelessly obsessed ever since!!!! Lovely pics Wowie and your quotes are great as always!!! *hugs*
