Quote: Something about Viggo

[wowie]

And, of course, Viggo Mortensen is ready for anything that might happen. Having slain a succession of monsters in the "Lord of the Rings" sagas, Mortensen finds himself doing some of the same work as Tom, the mild-mannered owner of a diner in small-town Indiana. It's a role that soon reveals itself as playing to Mortensen's strengths --his humility, his forcefulness and a certain odd unknowable quality. Even before Tom proves himself a capable man when danger lurks, there's something about Mortensen --or is it something he does as an actor? -- that makes the audience think, "No. There has to be more to this guy."
