Whatever Mortensen believes, it sure as heck didn't show in the movie. He did a fine job playing his character, he never let his politics pollute the movie. What Medved is upset about is that an actor has any political ideas that Medved doesn't like, even if the actor keeps them firmly separated from his work.

I think Mortensen did an OK job too. And his final speech before the Black Gate of Mordor was decent enough.

I was more taken my Theoden (Bernard Hill) and his speech to the Rohirrim just before they charged into the Orcs besieging Minas Tirith.

I got a lump in my throat watching that, and hearing them shout "DEATH!" as they charged. Whew!
