”My character is an average person in an extraordinary situation who has to make difficult decisions. It was nice to play a guy with a job and a family, rather than a guy with a big axe to grind. And scary too, because in a role like that you have to fit in, whereas you don't if you play a sociopath. In this role, I couldn't hide behind violence or fake teeth.”
Viggo Mortensen on Crimson Tide
Interview with Patricia Arquette, Interview magazine, 1995

Did he need fake teeth for some roles? I am so used to his peg-corn teeth that I just adore them, but I understand that they're pretty ... odd looking to most people. Can you imagine all the pros who told him to "Go get those horrid teeth of yours fixed" Meaning: go pull them all out and have fake ones put in.
"No the hell I won't!" I imagine him saying. Or f*ck off.
