I know we\'re not to believe everything we see on the web but I was reading an article today where Viggo is quoted to saying he will be quitting acting for good.
"In the past week I've been from Los Angeles to Japan to Korea to Poland to the UK. It's ridiculous and it's not a healthy way to be. But, as it happens, I'm taking measures to change that. No more movies..."
"I haven't said yes to one in over a year. I've been in all these well-received movies and it seems like I should be doing some more, but there are other things I want to do. It's not the right time."
Anyway if you want to read more about it here is the link..

^this article was just written today but in January of this year Viggo told an interviewer that he hasn\'t been asked but would hope to be involved with the Hobbit to be released in 2011-2012? here is the quote and the link to the article follows...
"I haven't heard anything. Ian is very proactive. He's been banging that drum!. It was a very important project to all of us and especially to him I think. He wants to make sure Gandalf is in there and in there early! I'm going to cross that bridge when I get to it. Obviously, I would rather have the chance to play that role myself since I originated it on film than have someone else do it."

I think he may be burnt out, he is a highly sought after actor in Hollyweird and I\'m sure it is draining. I love most of Viggo\'s movies and would hope that this isn\'t the case but I guess with no movies he will have more time to make music & poetry.
Interesting. I was just reading this article dated April 2, it mentions the album with B available here, At All. Anyone review it yet?

Maybe he has a little of that chicken farming in his blood and can help Buckethead out, hehe. I\'ll help. I could use a change too.
That\'s a great article. Viggo is a very true individual. I like that a lot.
Good for Viggo for practicing what KRS-One refers to as "the sacred street art of keeping it real."
