One cannot forget the scene in The Two Towers, which saw Aragorn (Viggo Mortensen) kicking a helmet in frustration as he thought his friends were dead. In that scene, while filming, Mortensen kicked the helmet so hard that he broke two of his toes, and his scream of agony during the scene became real. Instead of breaking character, Mortensen used the pain to make the scene even better as he fell on his knees in despair.

The director particularly loved the raw emotion Mortensen produced in taking that shot into the final cut. Mortensen's dedication to acting has sealed Aragorn as one of the series' most established and admired characters.
