Before the LotR movie, I could remember Viggo only as the nasty sergeant in GI Jane. Very negative. . . But now that I have watched the two LotR films I am SO glad that he did Aragorn. HE IS THE MAN!!! I think Aragorn's near death experience was meant to provide a good explanation of how he got Roheryn from Arwen as well as provide a good plot device.And I am VERY glad that Aragorn did not hit on Eowyn and that the movie provided a more believable way of how and why Eowyn fell in love with this coolest of cool characters. None of that clichéic 'love at first sight' thing (sorry Prof Tolkien! ). And the guy speaks way cool Elvish!Now everytime I hear Viggo's name, I remember Aragorn first, not that nasty GI Jane character.Eglerio Viggo!!!
