You speak Danish and Spanish and various other languages, as well as English. How important are the languages and cultures of other countries to you?

When you play a character, you seem to become that character, body and heart and soul. What advice have you for aspiring actors?

You've played epic roles in huge films like the Lord of the Rings and Alatriste and others, and roles in smaller budget movies. How are each different and how do you get into character?

You've ridden some really amazing horses in the Lord of the Rings and Hidalgo, and featured them in your poetry and photography. How close are you with nature?

Dear Viggo

I was wondering if you have changed your attitude regarding German people and Germay ? Many people suffered 2nd world war.not just your relatives.My grandparents and parents did too and they are German.
There is good and bad everwhere, don´t you think ?

Hi Viggo,

It is a pleasure to address you. I wonder if you have any type of religious or spiritual orientation and if it might be influenced by the Eastern or Asian philosophy or thoughts and/or the native Americans beliefs. My view is that both types of spiritual paths are rather similar, and share several pivotal concepts such as detatchment, absence of egotism and selfishness, will to trascend, frugality and love for nature, among other several points.
Thanks in advance for your time and congratulations for your body of work so far!

Dear Viggo,

Given your personal background (I believe that you were raised in Argentina) and family diversity (your father is Danish, and your mother is of Canadian ancestors), I´d like to know what type of American do you make of yourself. Also, how worth is for you the concept of patriotism these days, and up to which point sometimes this abstract label might be used by certain obscure elements to destroy and impose rather than to create togetherness and feeling or sense of community.

Your insights on the above will be very appreciated.

Thanks and saludos cordiales desde Madrid!

I've heard that you have poetry readings from time to time, do you have any plans to read your poetry in southern California any time soon? I find your writing interesting, compelling, thought provoking, etc.

Thank you.
