It makes me think of the way Viggo Mortensen looked in Lord of the Rings. Norse/Viking Director: Robert Zemeckis

It makes me think of the way Viggo Mortensen looked in Lord of the Rings. LOL Ann! This is EXACTLY who I was thinking about for the bad guy role (but I couldn't remember his name!) The red head is the one giving me trouble...... Last edited by EandCmom; 04/01/08 12:53 PM. Reason: can't type

Plus he could look like he smells bad, and that's a key component of the character! (He's not my invention, BTW. The character's name in the sagas is "Filth-Eyjolf." I did choose to make him a bad guy, though, since the sagas have him scrapping with the hero.) Kriston
