eyes are too close together, his voice not commanding, his presence too self absorbed, and his persona more of a loser/loner than a descendent of the line of kings

But compared to Viggo "The Lights Are On But Nobody's Home" Mortenson, the Aragon character is the second coming of Robert E. Lee. I was just boggled by the interviews I saw; you could practically see in his eyes and out his ears.

We call Viggo 'Mumbly Joe' when we see him interviewed. In Aragorn character, he could at least annunciate ;~D

I agree, and think the same thing when I see Liv Tyler interviewed. Very beautiful, but lacking two active brain cells to form a thought ...

LOL. I'm going to remember that one...

Just for fun, next time that you watch those movies, count all the cleft chins. I noticed that elves don't have cleft chins, but practically everyone else does. In the books, Frodo is described as having one...and they seem to be a dominant "mortal" gene in PJ's Middle Earth. A cleft is really rather rare, and is related to mild birth defects.
