PRODUCTION ASSISTANT ZAC VEGA Conventionally handsome and perennially cast in forgettable films like G.I. Jane and CONTRIBUTORS EARL DITTMAN 28 Days, he could have been confused with SCOTT GARDNER SUSAN GRANGER any one of a dozen other actors. LIZA HERZ Personally, I used to mix him up with DAN LIEBMAN Grant Show, a.k.a. Jake from Melrose Place. But when Stuart Townsend (Charlize ADVERTISING SALES FOR FAMOUS, FAMOUS QUEBEC AND FAMOUS KIDS Theron’s beau) lost the part of Aragorn IS HANDLED BY FAMOUS PLAYERS MEDIA INC. at the 11th hour (something about him HEAD OFFICE 416.539.8800 looking too young), Mortensen won the GENERAL MANAGER ROBERT BROWN (ext. 232) role, simultaneously catching a first-class elevator from the bottom NATIONAL SALES MANAGER JOHN TSIRLIS (ext. 237) of the B-list to the top of A. DIRECTOR OF SALES ANTON KIM (ext. 238) So now people actually care what Viggo Mortensen does with his DIR. OF MARKETING & SALES, BETH SCOTT (ext. 249) career.

(Did I mention he speaks fluent Spanish?) WESTERN SALES MANAGER ELIZABETH D’ARTOIS But first up is David Cronenberg’s A History of Violence. A complex examination of family, brutality and past transgressions, the film QUEBEC 514.868.0005 DIRECTOR OF SALES SOPHIE JODOIN (ext. 222) lets Mortensen dive into a character that is practically drowning ACCOUNT MANAGER ZOÉ LAFOND (ext. 224) in shades of grey. Famous deputy editor Ingrid Randoja spoke SALES CO-ORDINATOR PATRICIA CARPENTIER (ext. 223) with Mortensen for an in-depth piece that kicks off our Fall, Holiday Preview (page 16).
