Looking at acting, in the movies or the theater, and the way I like to look at it, itโs just an extension of childhood playโฆ Kids play and imagine in a very intense fashion and they donโt need any director telling them โYou really have to believe in it.โ They believe in it completely.
Viggo MortensenI was raised speaking English and Spanish. And I also speak Danish. And I can get by in French and Italian. I've acted in Spanish and English, but when something has to do with emotions, sometimes I feel I can get to the heart of the matter better in Spanish.
Viggo MortensenI prefer the smaller acting than big histrionics. It's about reacting and looks, which is often underestimated.
