Elijah Wood (b. 1981) is an American actor and producer best known for his iconic portrayal of Frodo Baggins in the epic fantasy blockbuster film trilogy “The Lord of the Rings” (2001-2003) directed by Peter Jackson. Wood began his film career when he debuted in a small part in “Back to the Future, Part II” (1989). His expressive blue eyes, youthful appearance, and emotional range helped him stand out early in his career, leading to a series of roles as a child actor in the 1990s.

His breakout came with roles in films like “Radio Flyer” (1992), “Forever Young” (1992), “The Good Son” (1993), and “North” (1994), where he demonstrated an uncommon maturity for such a young performer. He transitioned smoothly into more mature roles in the late 1990s, appearing in movies like “The Ice Storm” (1997) and “Deep Impact” (1998). However, his casting as Frodo Baggins in “The Lord of the Rings,” based on the classic fantasy novel of the same name by English author J.R.R. Tolkien, catapulted him to international stardom. His portrayal of the ring-bearing hobbit struggling with immense responsibility and inner conflict remains among the most memorable in modern fantasy cinema.

“The Lord of the Rings” film trilogy had a profound cultural, cinematic, and economic impact. Based on J.R.R. Tolkien’s literary masterpiece, the trilogy redefined the fantasy genre in mainstream cinema, elevating it from niche appeal to global popularity. Its groundbreaking use of CGI and practical effects set new industry standards, influencing countless later films and franchises.

Critically acclaimed and commercially successful, the trilogy earned seventeen Academy Awards out of thirty nominations, with “The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King” sweeping all eleven of its nominations (including Best Picture, Best Director, Best Adapted Screenplay), a feat matched by only two other films in history that also won eleven Oscars: “Ben-Hur” (1959, with twelve nominations) and “Titanic” (1997, fourteen nominations). Beyond awards, the trilogy deepened public interest in epic storytelling, mythological themes, and richly built fictional worlds, paving the way for adaptations like TV series “Game of Thrones” (2011-2019) and “The Witcher” (2019-2023).

Economically, it boosted New Zealand’s film industry and tourism, transforming the country into a filmmaking hub. Culturally, it sparked renewed interest in Tolkien’s books, cosplay, fan communities, and fantasy gaming. Overall, “The Lord of the Rings” trilogy left a lasting legacy, reshaping how audiences and studios view the potential of fantasy cinema. The cumulative worldwide gross of the trilogy is close to three billion dollars.

Following “The Lord of the Rings,” Wood actively sought diverse roles to avoid typecasting. He took on edgier and unconventional parts in films such as “Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind” (2004, his first role following his “Lord of the Rings” success), “Sin City” (2005), and the horror-thriller “Maniac” (2012). He also voiced Mumble, a premature Emperor penguin, in George Miller’s animated musical hit films “Happy Feet” (2006) and its sequel, “Happy Feet Two” (2011).

In addition to acting, Elijah Wood has made a mark as a producer through his company, SpectreVision (formerly known as The Woodshed), founded in 2010, which focuses on producing low-budget and often genre-bending horror films and psychological thrillers. The company has received critical acclaim for titles like “A Girl Walks Home Alone at Night” (2014) and “Mandy” (2018).

Wood is also known for his down-to-earth personality and his passion for music; his first appearance was in Paula Abdul’s music video “Forever Your Girl” (1988), directed by David Fincher. He is an avid vinyl collector and with his friend Zach Cowie, he formed Wooden Wisdom and DJ’d at music events around the world. Despite his fame, he has maintained a relatively private life and is known for avoiding the Hollywood limelight whenever possible.

In a career that spans almost four decades now, Elijah Wood—still only 44—has appeared in films, TV movies, music videos, shorts, TV series and TV mini-series, and has continually demonstrated his versatility, his commitment to his craft, and his willingness to take risks, securing his legacy as one of the most respected and enduring actors of his generation—always graced with his boyish looks.

Last April, he was a guest of honor at FACTS Comic Con in Ghent, Belgium, a popular fan convention held at Flanders Expo. It celebrates pop culture, including comics, anime, sci-fi, fantasy, and gaming. The event typically features celebrity guests, cosplay contests, artist alleys, and merchandise stands. It attracts thousands of fans, and cosplayers attend the event wearing detailed costumes, while fans meet actors from films like “Star Wars,” “Doctor Who,” and “Harry Potter,” making FACTS an interesting must-visit for enthusiasts. When he attended FACTS in April, Elijah Wood did two almost forty-minute-long Q&A sessions, one on Saturday, and the other one on Sunday. The latter is reproduced here, slightly edited and condensed for clarity. At first, the questions were asked by a moderator; halfway through, Wood also took questions from the audience.

How was your evening in Ghent yesterday? Did you try any Belgian food or drinks?

I did not try anything super Belgian last night. I had a burger, fries, and a cocktail. I didn’t have any beer. I like beer, but I find beer a little heavy, so I don’t drink it like I used to. I used to drink way more beer—it sounds like I was drinking a lot of beer. I used to drink beer more regularly, and I don’t now. But I love Belgian beer.

Can you name seven famous Belgians?

Audrey Hepburn, René Magritte, Django Reinhardt, Plastic Bertrand…

How do you know Plastic Bertrand?

What’s his famous song? “Ça plane pour moi,” yeah. That’s the best. I mean, everybody knows that song, that’s an international hit.

The funny thing is that he really didn’t sing it. There was a trial. Lou Deprijck sang it, and he claimed it. It was just Plastic Bertrand’s face.

So it was like Milli Vanilli? For real?

You’re from Iowa?

Originally, yes.

Where are you living now?

Los Angeles.

Okay. Three most famous people from Los Angeles?

[Laughs]. There are so many famous people from LA. Three famous people from Los Angeles… I’m trying to go in a direction that is not common. I mean, obviously, Charlie Chaplin, although he was not born there. The thing about Los Angeles is that it’s a transient place. More people come to LA to pursue their career or start a life. So I’m trying to think. Does anybody know who Roy Choi is? He’s a chef and he’s from LA [laughs]. Kobe Bryant, I think, is from Los Angeles. Dr. Dre is from LA. Kendrick Lamar is from LA. So there are amazing hip-hop artists from Los Angeles; we have an incredible tradition of hip-hop art in our city.

You are an actor. What is the most unexpected thing about being an actor? Something that we, non-actors, wouldn’t realize.

I think what we do seems from the outside to be glamorous—or something. But it’s funny because the work that we do isn’t really on a film set. That isn’t work, and that’s why we do this—the joy of what we get to do, make movies, and be a part of the creative process. The work is promoting films. It’s not that I don’t necessarily like it because a great promotion can bring a cast back together again. Like “The Lord of the Rings” for instance, for three years we would do almost a month-long tour promoting each individual film. That brought us all back together again. We would fly in planes together and be at premières. But that part is a lot of work; it’s when we feel, ‘Okay, this is the job.’ You don’t sign up to be an actor just to be on a press tour. You do press junkets; that’s typically one or two days where you sit in a room with journalists. You have cameras all set up and the room just rotates with different journalists, asking over the course of three to five minutes a series of questions that tend to be the same questions over and over again. For one particular interview when I was hosting “Saturday Night Live,” I had to be in New York and it was done via satellite, while the cast was for a press junket in Berlin. In exchange for me not being able to be in Berlin, they suggested doing the press interviews via satellite. So I was in a room in a studio in New York City over the course of an evening. I couldn’t see the journalists—I could only hear them. I was looking at a piece of paper with a smiley face for whoever I was supposed to be talking to. And then the various foreign-accented interviewers would pop up in my ears and ask the same questions over and over again. That’s a good example of what a press junket is. Just sitting in a room and getting fed.

How many times do you have to watch your own movies when you are on a promotional tour? Do you see them, or do you leave the theater as soon as they start?

Unless we have just seen the film prior to the premiere, I will watch the entire film once so I can experience it with an audience. On “Rings” we usually had three different screenings for each film, and I would sit the first one out. Generally, you have an intro and then there would be a Q&A after. During the film, the cast would just go out to dinner.

Do you like to watch yourself on the screen, and think, ‘I look good in this scene,’ or, ‘I should have done it differently’?

I don’t feel awkward about watching myself. I focus more on the whole film than narrowing in on what I’ve done. So I try to pay attention to everything else which comes relatively easy to me. I’m able to sort of compartmentalize it a little bit. It’s natural to look at your own work and sort of wonder if it turned out the way you wanted, but I’m also able to look further and try to enjoy the whole thing. With “The Lord of the Rings,” the beauty of that particular film is that after “The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring” [2001] it does split into a variety of narratives, so with the subsequent films I got to see them for the first time as a viewer. But I love seeing a movie come together. The work that everybody is doing in service of the whole piece, that’s why we’re all there, so it’s a real joy to see something come together for the first time. It’s awesome.

“The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring” (2001, trailer)

Imagine you’re watching TV in a hotel room, going from one channel to another, and all of a sudden you see “The Lord of the Rings.” Would you watch it?

Yeah, I’ve definitely done that where I flipped through the channels where “The Lord of the Rings” or something has been on and I sort of sat with it for a bit.

Do you consider the other cast members of “The Lord of the Rings” like family or friends? Because you were like a year and a half together almost every day, living this extraordinary adventure. It must create a special bond.

It totally is. It transcends friendship. We’re more like family. None of us had ever worked in anything that was that all-encompassing and that was a job stretched over four years. And so, most of us were away from our homes and our families for certainly sixteen months at that time. So we became each other’s family whilst making it and bonded over that experience. So yeah, we are like family and in that way too where you may not see each other for a long time, and then when you do it’s as if no time has passed, you know.

If you could host your dream dinner with three people, alive or dead, who would you invite to that dinner?

Stanley Kubrick, Ray Bradbury—it’s an eclectic group—and… I don’t know… Who would round that out to make it interesting… Maybe Lauren Bacall…

Or Audrey Hepburn?

Audrey Hepburn, yes. I’ve always been in love with Audrey Hepburn.

Imagine you could swap for one week your life with the life of another celebrity. Who would you choose? James McAvoy chose Taylor Swift.

Yes, Taylor Swift. That’s amazing. You know what? I would say, Prince. I grew up loving Prince, I grew up loving his music. I have an older brother who is seven years older than me; he really got me into it as he was listening to everything as it was happening, and I was a little bit behind—and ultimately caught up. I saw Prince many times before he passed and I think that was an artist that was just untouchable in terms of his musical ability, songwriting, the length of his career, his ability to perform. So yeah, to spend a week retaining his musical ability would be pretty amazing.

If you were to interview yourself, what question would you ask yourself?

I don’t know [laughs], because I am myself. I don’t know if there’s anything I need to know.

Or what would you tell your eighteen-year-old self?

[Pauzes]. I know exactly what I would tell myself. ‘Buy a house in New Zealand, dude.’ I don’t have many regrets in my life, I don’t really believe in regrets. But one of the few that I have, is that when we were wrapping up “The Lord of the Rings,” all of us obviously felt a strong connection to New Zealand. It’s still a place that’s deeply meaningful to me and a part of my heart will always reside there. And as we were wrapping up production, I thought, ‘Oh, maybe I should go through the process of filling out papers for residency.’ [Then] Prime Minister Helen Clark was very meaningful to us; the films brought in a hell of a lot of revenu and really put New Zealand on the map from a tourism standpoint. And so it was prime time to start that process—and probably successfully achieve residency—and then maybe even citizenship over time because I was going to be coming back. And, also, the New Zealand dollar was pretty low and the U.S. dollar was pretty strong. At the time, the U.S. dollar was like double the Kiwi dollar. So a house that was like a million Kiwi dollars was like five hundred thousand; that was fucking cheap. It’s very expensive now [laughs], it’s so expensive. All of us had these aspirations for eventually getting a place there and kind of holding on to and carving out a space and a reason to continue to visit beyond our friendship. But we didn’t and I never did. I didn’t fill out the papers. I stupidly let that go. I think I missed the golden opportunity to get something when it was so easy to get something.

“The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers” (2002, trailer)

[Questions from the audience] You already talked about making “The Lord of the Rings” and your work on the set. Did the film change the way you value friendship?

Yeah. I mean, it’s interesting because one has to sort of imagine it was totally unprecedented what we were about to go through. I’ll never forget meeting Sean Astin for the first time. Sean and I met in a hotel lobby in Los Angeles. I was either coming from having a wig fitting or just going to have my wig fit. We passed each other in the lobby and immediately embraced. I had never met him before, but I knew who he was obviously. We hugged each other and there was this sense of we’re about to go on this adventure together. And that’s really what it was: it was this thing where we were all completely isolated from our lives. New Zealand and each other became our lives as we were on this journey together. That was sort of not unlike what the characters were going through. It was an adventure, and that’s incredibly bonding. You feel like you’re among the few people embarking on this thing. That feels very special. And despite the fact that it was somewhere in the neighborhood of two thousand people ultimately employed in the making of the film, it felt very small and intimate. Of course, there were the giant battle sequences with hundreds of extras—we had that for sure—but it also just felt homegrown and handmade in a way that was very connected, and that didn’t feel like a giant apparatus. It felt like this very small thing, and that very much bonds you to each other and to the crew as well. And when we did “The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey” [2012], we were of a similar age, so the four of us were pretty inseparable and we’re still really close.

What was emotionally the most difficult scene in “The Lord of the Rings” to play?

That should be when Frodo is falling apart and can no longer see reality for what it is anymore. I remember that sequence between Frodo and Sam [played by Sean Astin] and Sam and Frodo, leading up to, ‘I can’t carry the ring, but I can carry you.’ That was so emotional. That feeling, that sense of responsibility in those moments and delivering emotionally the impact of that. I would say that that entire sequence was the most challenging.

If you could relive one moment on the set of “The Lord of the Rings,” what moment would it be?

It would probably be something with the four Hobbits, with the four of us because we always had fun together. There are a million memories, so I can pull from it many different things… We were waiting for good weather to fly in helicopters up to the top of the mountain to film “The Fellowship,” walking through the snow, and Frodo dropping the ring in the snow and Boromir [played by Sean Bean] having a look at it. We were there on a Friday. Not good weather. We’re there on Saturday, bad weather. ‘We’ll work on Sunday.’ In the meantime, we just sat around and played games. We also played with paper cups and kept a cup in the air. Things like that when sitting around and entertaining ourselves with nonsense. Those are fond memories I have of just quiet moments in between.

What was it like to play Frodo in that fantasy setting?

What was it like? It’s funny. There was a build-up to the making. We had about two months of preparation before we started shooting. We started shooting in October of 1999. We had a good couple of months of lead-up, rehearsals, actual camera test rehearsals, dialect coaching, and script work. And, you know, building up to that, there’s this sense of responsibility of bringing this beloved literary character to life, and the pressure, and feeling that pressure. At a certain point—and in some ways relatively quickly because you just get into the work—I just let go of the outside feeling of pressure or the weight of that responsibility, and got into feeling who this person was. I found it and let that lead. So, how did it feel? It felt awesome because you put your shoes on, you’re wearing your costume, you feel like a Hobbit and you look like a Hobbit. The wig and all of that did so much of the work from our ears to our hair. And then if you looked around the set, it was so all-encompassing and real that you could disappear into that world. We were really fortunate to make these films because most of what we were experiencing was happening in front of us. Those sets… we didn’t have to rely on as much imagination as you’d think. We were surrounded by unbelievable locations and sets that made that world come to life. So the fun of it—aside from playing the characters—was feeling like we were in Middle-earth and that world came to life in front of us. It was awesome.

“The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King” (2003, trailer)

What other character would you have liked to play in “The Lord of the Rings”?

It’s really hard to imagine because I feel like everyone is so locked to their performance, and I can’t imagine those characters not being portrayed by those individuals. But if you would ask me like a fifteen-year-old, having only at that point read “The Hobbit” [1937], I would have probably said Gollum [played by Andy Serkis], only because “The Riddles in the Dark Chapter” was my favorite chapter [fifth chapter of J.R.R. Tolkien’s “The Hobbit”]. I loved that character and was intrigued by that character. So maybe Gollum, but I can’t separate what Andy Serkis did; his performance is so extraordinary. He has in my opinion ownership over that character.

Are you curious about what you sound like in another language when your voice is dubbed?

I’ve heard it a couple of times. I met my Italian dubber, so I’ve heard what that sounds like and what his work is. I feel I’ve heard the Spanish dubbing as well. But I’ve never turned on the audio track on a DVD or Blu-Ray. I’ve heard it because I met those individuals. But, weirdly, I didn’t have a curiosity about it.

In 2016, you played Todd in the TV series “Dirk Gently’s Holistic Detective Agency.” How do you reflect on that show and its cancellation?

I can’t believe it’s been ten years. That’s crazy. We had so much fun making that show. I’ll never forget reading the first script for the first time, how absolutely absurd and wild it was, and how it almost willfully made it complicated to understand what was going on. We had a blast and there was a plan for a third season. Max [Landis, director] had laid out the concept of the show that’s ultimately an anthology with the same characters, but the genre changed every season. There was definitely an interest in keeping it going for as long as possible. From a production standpoint, I feel like we really caught our stride in the second season. It wasn’t the easiest thing to put together, but it felt like we had found our groove. So it was a shame not to be able to come back for a third season. We all had fun working together. It was an amazing cast, and it was super fun to play the character of Todd opposite Dirk [played by Samuel Barnett]—and Samuel was amazing. So much of my job was just reacting to the insanity of what the hell was going on. The funny thing to think about is that there was almost never a day when we were shooting something normal. Everything was absurd and insane. It was such a blast.

Is there anything else by [author] Douglas Adams, other than “Dirk Gently’s Holistic Detective Agency,” that you’d like to do?

It’s funny, I’m not that familiar with his work as an author to be able to pull something up. But I find his work incredible, funny, bizarre, and absurd. I would definitely be open to working with his material again, but I don’t know his work well enough to be able to pull something out.

You have traveled a lot. What’s your favorite place to visit and to work?

My favorite place where I’ve filmed is probably New Zealand. That’s an obvious answer, I suppose. But favorite places that I’ve traveled to… lots of favorite places. I really love Scandinavia—Sweden, Norway and Denmark. Oh, I love Ghent [laughs]. I love Turkey; I spent a bit of time in Turkey. I think the temple is really special. Gosh… I think one of my favorite aspects of being alive is being able to travel and experience other cultures, architecture, and food. It’s such a glorious thing. And as an actor, I have that offered to me a lot. It’s always fun to travel to new places. My family and I—my wife and kids—just did a cross-country road trip, which is something I’ve always wanted to do. We covered about eighteen states in two months, including some states I have never been to, which was so much fun. And now, I’ve been to almost all of the states.

Who is your favorite actor you worked with so far?

I got to work with various actors over the years; I’m unbelievably grateful that I had the opportunity. Working with Jim Carrey was really extraordinary when we did “Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind” [2004]; Christopher Lee on “The Lord of the Rings” was amazing… legendary people like that. I don’t know. It’s hard for me to pick one person. Working with Nicolas Cage was also an unbelievable experience.

Would you like to direct a movie one day?

I would love to. It’s something I wanted to do for ages. I love the process of making movies; at this point in my life, that is what matters. I do love acting, and that’s my way in and that has been my experience. But I love producing films as well, and I would love to direct a film. I just love the creative process and working together with a group of people to realize a vision. In a lot of ways, I feel like I’ve been going to film school for the last thirty years of my life. So I would love to apply that in some way.
