Here's his profile from IMDB:

Born in New York to a Danish father and an American mother, Mortensen
spent the early part of his childhood in Manhattan. His family traveled
a great deal and he spent several years living in Venezuela, Argentina,
and Denmark. He began acting in New York, studying with Warren
Robertson. He appeared in several plays and movies, and eventually moved
to Los Angeles, where his performance in "Bent" at the Coast Playhouse
earned him a Drama-logue Critic's Award. Mortensen is also an
accomplished poet, photographer, and painter.
