Hello

Hello Viggo Fans.

I was wondering where is the place for introducing my self and as I didn't find any, I think I can do it here (If this is the wrong place, please delete the topic).

I am so very new here and didn't have chance to look at everything, but this place is great.

My name is Alexander Klaws, from Germany.

Singing and painting are my greatest passions and this is why I am a fan of Viggo.

The stuff he creates is quite amazing.

I am not going to have much time ...

Mortensen, who played Aragorn in Peter Jackson's fantasy trilogy, claims he has enough money to have a pleasant life with his family and prefers taking challenging roles rather than opting for the movies with the biggest budgets.
