Sala Baker, a stuntperson who worked with Mortensen on The Lord of the Rings, reveals that the actor voluntarily paid between seven and eight weeks worth of legal fees for the stunt team. Mortensen paid out of his own pocket to help resolve an issue with the stunt team not being paid properly.
Viggo Mortensen was a hero in The Lord of the Rings even when the cameras weren't rolling. He famously played Aragorn in The Fellowship of the Ring, The Two Towers, and The Return of the King, with his portrayal often hailed as one of The Lord of the Rings' best performances and a perfect adaptation of the character created by J.R.
R. Tolkien. The actor also has a positive reputation for taking several of the films' horses home and caring for them after production ended. In an interview with ScreenRant's Liam Crowley at Motor City Comic Con, The Lord of the Rings actor and stuntperson Sala Baker reveals that Mortensen voluntarily paid between seven and eight weeks worth of legal fees for the trilogy's stunt performers.
Baker explains that there was an issue with the stunt team not being paid properly, which required legal intervention to resolve, and Mortensen paid out of his own pocket to help out the individuals he worked with during filming
