Viggo Mortensen, star of this year’s Best Picture winner Green Book, has delivered a wealth of strong roles in his time in the industry.
The film details the relationship between Carl Jung (Michael Fassbender), his patient Sabina Spielrein (Keira Knightley) and his mentor Sigmund Freud (Mortensen).
Mortensen has been nominated for the Academy Award for Best Actor three times, though he has unfortunately never won.
Since his transition from body horror science fiction to gritty realism, David Cronenberg has worked with Mortensen thrice.
