Viggo Mortensen turned down blockbuster after blockbuster before finally becoming a star in his forties, and he’s spent the decades since choosing roles almost entirely for how strange or difficult they are. In The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King (2003): His Aragorn finally claims his birthright, leading the armies of Middle-earth into their final stand. Equally memorable is Green Book (2018): His Oscar-nominated role as a brash Bronx bouncer driving a Black pianist through the segregated South.
