15. Aragorn

Appearances: The Lord Of The Rings trilogy (2001-2003)

Creator: J. R. R. Tolkien

Performer: Viggo Mortensen

Defining moment: Going to meet the Uruk-hai atop Parth Galen to allow Frodo time to escape. It’s the first time Aragorn embraces his destiny as a leader.

Fascinating fact: Mortensen patched up his own costume while filming and, when he lost a tooth in an orc-based squabble, he simply had it glued back in.
