Elijah Wood

Born January 28, 1981 - Cedar Rapids, Iowa

This energetic young actor started entertaining family and friends quite early in his life, so much so that his mother took him to LA for a modeling and talent convention.

From there he quickly moved into acting, starting out in TV commercials. His first break came in Avalon, and some of his pre-Frodo popular movies are Radio Flyer, North, and The Good Son with co-star Macaulay Culkin.

He is, of course, best known as Frodo in the Lord of the Rings trilogy. He plays piano, loves all types of music, and studies singing professionally.

Personal Quote: "I think being different, being against the grain of society, is the greatest thing in the world."
