Biography:
 
Born on 28 January 1981, Elijah Wood has grown up to be one of the most well-respected and steadily actors of his generation. Born in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, Wood modeled and did local commercials before moving with his family to Los Angeles in 1988. Wood got his first break, a small role in a Paula Abdul video and a bit part in Back to the Future II (1989).

It was Wood's role as Aidan Quinn's son in Avalon (1990), he got attention as the film received widespread critical acclaim and was nominated for four Academy Awards. After a small part in Internal Affairs (1990), Wood secured his first starring role in Paradise (1991), in which he played a young boy who brings estranged couple back together. He received good reviews for his performance and from there went on to take a part in Forever Young (1992) and in Radio Flyer (1992).

Wood further evolved as an actor in Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring (2001). His most hotly anticipated project, the film gave Wood top billing as Frodo Baggins. That same year, he took a part in the crime drama Ash Wednesday. Of course, his most substantial role of 2002 is his return to the role of hobbit Frodo Baggins in Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers.

Wood once again resumed his role for The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King (2003). He next starred alongside Jim Carrey and Kate Winslet in the fantasy feature Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind (2004) before starring in soccer flick Hooligans (2005).
