Oscar Nominated Actor Officially Retires From Acting - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Viggo Mortensen is considering early retirement following the release of his new movie The Road because he wants to spend more time as a publisher, poet and photographer.

The star, who publishes his poetry and photographic books through his Perceval Press imprint, insists he is planning a long hiatus from Hollywood and he may never return as a movie star.

He tells Men's Journal magazine, "I have no plans to do another movie. I don't know what's going to happen. I'm open to seeing how I feel in a while, but right now I'm not saying yes to anything. My agent is like, 'Well, if you don't do anything, people will forget about you...' I just feel like I've taken on too much for a while."

Yeah, he can afford to retire from acting, I'm sure he made a ton of money from the Lord of the Rings trilogy!!

Probably still raking it in.

Like we haven't heard this one before. Give him a year or two, and he'll be back.

I think Viggo will probably take a long break from acting but he will never retire.

Still, I'm inclined to take him more seriously than Joaquin Phoenix.
