Geek I’d Like to… Read Poetry While Battling Orcs in a Sauna With

 

Viggo Mortensen at the Festival de Venise, taken by Nicogenin

 

I’ve argued about whether or not Viggo Mortensen is geeky enough to qualify as a “Sexy Geek”, so I’ve laid out the facts:

1. Has purchased several of the horses he’s ridden in movies (and published a book about them)
2. Operates his own publishing house (Perceval Press) where he has been known to publish his own poetry, photography and paintings
3. He was freakin’ Aragorn

Ok, so he is also outstandingly good looking. And ruggedly handsome. And a poet. And this one time in a movie, he fought off the Russian mob naked in a sauna in what Roger Ebert called “a benchmark”. A benchmark for sexiness perhaps.

Viggo, I’d fight naked while waxing poetic with you anytime.
