MENDELSOHN, BEN: VERTICAL LIMIT
One of Australia’s ‘brat pack’ in the 90s, Ben Mendelsohn has emerged as a
versatile and interesting actor, stretching from the seriously kinky John in the low
budget Australian film, Sample People, to the wise-cracking larrikin mountain climber
Malcolm, in the Hollywood blockbuster, Vertical Limit. Andrew L. Urban found him lying
face down on a two seater in a very swank Sydney hotel, adjusting to the rigours of a
‘star promotional tour’ promoting Vertical Limit.

MORTENSEN, VIGGO – A HISTORY OF VIOLENCE
Viggo Mortensen, the thinking woman’s blind date fantasy, is low key in
person, at odds with his larger than life role in The Lord of the Rings, or even
his mysterious Tom Stall in David Cronenberg’s Cannes entry, A History of
Violence, in which his past collides with his present. But there is also a party
animal inside the softly spoken actor, as Andrew L. Urban discovered, when they
met in Sydney.
