Elijah Wood (b. January 28, 1981) is an American actor originally from Cedar Rapids, Iowa.

Although he is best known as Frodo the hobbit in the Peter Jackson movie trilogy, Lord of the Rings, Wood got his start in acting at age 7 by being cast by Steven Spielberg for a small part in Back to the Future Part II.

Wood says he first heard about the Lord of the Rings' trilogy while he was filming the 1998 movie, The Faculty. Since his intuition told him Rings would be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, he asked his friend, director George Huang to help him make an audition tape for the film, which was sent to Jackson in New Zealand.

Of the props that Wood kept from the Rings films, perhaps the most appropriate is that he is the keeper of one of two prop rings used in the films. The other is held by Andy Serkis, the actor who played Gollum.
