Mini-bio: Elijah Jordan Wood (born January 28, 1981) is an American actor and music executive. A professional actor since the age of nine, Wood is best known for the role of Frodo Baggins in the Lord of the Rin...( read more)gs film trilogy. He took to the stage in his elementary school's staging of the play The Sound of Music. The following year, he graduated to the title character in The Wonderful Wizard of Oz. Wood also served as choir boy during the production of See How They Run, produced by the Marion Creative Council.

Making his film debut with a minor part in Back to the Future II (1989), Wood landed a succession of subsequent larger roles, and became a critically acclaimed child actor. His performance in The War gained him a nomination for a 'Young Star Award' (for which he was nominated five times, and won once), and Roger Ebert said in his review of the film that Elijah Wood has emerged, I believe, as the most talented actor in his age group, in Hollywood history.

His role as Frodo in The Lord of the Rings made him a star, but he has resisted typecasting by recently choosing varied roles, such as a stalker in Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, a mute cannibal in Sin City and a eccentric collector in Everything Is Illuminated.

    Cel mai scump actor si cel mai priceput in meseria sa .Imi place la nebunie si pentru asta poate ma-m indragostit de el si nu as face gresala sai las un comm de dragoste de pe net cand de fapt el nu-l va citi niciodata.Nu cred ca voi avea posibilitatea sa-l vad vreodata dar totusi sper ,pentru ca speranta moare ultima.
