Quote: Following Viggo

[wowie]

When Viggo and David Cronenberg visited Denmark very recently (October 11 till October 13) David Cronenberg was interviewed by Danish broadcasting Corporation and asked whether he (David) would have chosen Viggo as the main character in History of Violence if it hadn't been for his popularity as Aragorn in Lord of the Rings. Cronenberg actually answered: "NO, I would't have chosen him, I have been following him closely for some years, but definitely thanks to Peter Jackson and the huge success of LOTR, I had no second thoughts about offering Viggo the leading role".
