Re: There's Something About Viggo (quotes from others about Viggo) "I would say probably 95% of the work that you see as Viggo onscreen is completely computer generated, because he has a wooden leg and he can't run. So they had to do all that CG. And also he can't act. There's all this stuff going on about how good he was in that film, but they had to morph a lot of the face movements from Billy and myself, because we were able to reach those levels of acting that Viggo just couldn't reach. I mean, he can barely talk English, you know? He's pretty dumb..."
Re: There's Something About Viggo (quotes from others about Viggo) I couldn't stop laughung either! These guys certainly liked to tease each other during this film. lol
It's good they all seen to have a sence of humor.
Re: There's Something About Viggo (quotes from others about Viggo) Wood praises Viggo for quite some time, in these and other ways. Then he interrupts himself, concerned that he is not doing justice to the full complexities of his colleague's character. "We're talking about how much integrity he has and how brilliant he is," says Wood. "He's also completely insane."

Re: There's Something About Viggo (quotes from others about Viggo) Elijah Wood: "Viggo's our king. He's one of my favourite people in life. He's brilliantly talented in so many ways. An incredible photographer, painter, actor... And he's incredilbly eccentric. He's just a loyal, kind sweet-hearted man who's hilarious to be around and inspiring in all the things he achieves and sets out to do. I've certainly learned a lot from him. His perspective on life is beautifultoo. He's a real lover of nature and a very giving and accepting man. And there's something about Viggo that's absolutely, completely insane and I find that very endearing. He really is mad."
Re: There's Something About Viggo (quotes from others about Viggo) "Viggo came with a level of intensity and commitment," says Sean Astin, who portrays hobbit Samwise Gamgee. "He got this reputation as an eccentric because he would carry his sword around, but I found it quite inspiring. There was a glimmer in his eye - he was aware of how other people were perceiving him - but he really reawakened in me a sense of the possibilities of what it can be as an actor enjoying a role."
