Elijah Jordan Wood, an American actor, and producer, was born on January 28, 1981. His most notable performances were Frodo Baggins in The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey (2012) and The Lord of the Rings film trilogy (2001–2003).
Wood acted as a model and made local ads. David Fincher’s music video for Paula Abdul’s song “Forever Your Girl,” which he appeared in, gave him his big break.
Then, he had a crucial part in the made-for-TV movie Child in the Night before playing a supporting role in Back to the Future II.
Director Ivan Reitman rejected nine-year-old Wood’s audition for the part of Kindergarten Cop because he felt it was unconvincing.
