Elijah Wood is an American actor. Making his film debut with a minor part in Back to the Future Part II (1989), he landed a succession of subsequent larger roles and became a critically acclaimed child actor by age 13. After his high-profile role as Frodo Baggins in Peter Jackson's The Lord of the Rings trilogy, he has resisted typecasting by choosing varied roles in critically-acclaimed films such as Bobby, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, Sin City, Green Street and Everything Is Illuminated. Most recently he starred in the film Day Zero (2007) and provided the voice of the main character, Mumble, in the award-winning animated film Happy Feet. He also played an American tourist turned vampire in Paris, je t'aime. In 2005, he started his own record label, Simian Records. His next project is the upcoming Iggy Pop biopic The Passenger.

In 2006, he became a well-known voice actor in video gaming and would soon become the voice of the video game icon, Spyro the Dragon, starting with The Legend of Spyro: A New Beginning.

In 2008, he set a new world record when he became the first person ever to cross the Victoria Falls on ropes during an appearance on Jack Osbourne's hit show Adrenaline Junkie.

Born January 28, 1981 his primary personality traits are represented by the Chinese Zodiac elemental animal, the Metal Monkey. The Metal Monkey is the strongest, most rigid of the bunch. He has a sharp edge compared to the other, more playful Monkeys. This combination can be very powerful as his Monkey creativity is harnessed into the solid structure of Metal. He prefers to work independently or be a small business owner rather than a cog in the corporate wheel if he can help it.
