"But, skip forward about halfway in this Charlie Rose interview to see Viggo, with nods of agreement from Peter and Elijah, talk about the “War for Oil” and how the U.S. is the evil one"

Viggo is a left-wing nut alright. But what do expect from a guy who grew up in Denmark and Argentina? A left-wing nut!

I enjoyed Viggo far more when I didn't know his personal views. And it's not so much that I know them as it is that he spews them out forcibly, and often awkwardly, whenever he has the opportunity. It hasn't ruined Aragorn for me yet, but I do try to avoid any further interviews or behind the scenes clips with him in it to make sure that that stays the case. However since, when I see he's in an upcoming picture, "spoiled ignorant idiot" does come to mind, which I'm sure isn't the desired reaction by anyone involved in said promoted project. I was curious about Hildalgo, but some of that curiousity turned to apathy because of Viggo's nonsense at the time.

Yes, I think that is what is so repulsive about the guy. He is a walking cliche of the left.

The movies are great. But, Viggo just about ruined them all for me, too, especially because he played my favorite character. Also because he admitted he never even read LOTR until he was on the plane headed to start filming. I’m not sure he ever read the whole trilogy. Arghhh.

Also almost ruining it was the actor who played Gandalf with his political cause. What a shame.
