The dude is a respectable actor. He got dicked by Peter Jackson. I can agree Viggo turned out better, but don't bash the guy.
: I know that doesn't translate well to text, but still . . . .
: And I meant that he PLAYS the "angst-ridden, enigmatic pretty boy", not that he IS one. Every role he takes he turns it into that - the "oh, I've got a dark past I don't want to talk about, but I'm also good looking, so I intrigue you" act.
: If he was cast as Legolas, I could see that working. But as Aragorn? Jackson did the franchise (and the entire cinema industry) a favor by canning that no-talent prick.
