The possibility of becoming typecast is irrelevant for Mortensen as he is planning on retiring very soon anyway. What a better way to go out than by reprising his most famous role!

But that doesn't mean it was his favorite. He's pretty dedicated to his craft. I'd think he'd be more interested in portraying a more powerful role as his last role than simply reprising his role from the LOTR franchise.

I guess it is possible but it isn't as if he spends his days watching daytime TV when he isn't on set... he may find the painting, writing and photography artistic fulfilment enough - and one where he has contol without having to make compromises with the studio paymasters and deal with those temperamental brutes, actors.
