Elijah Woods!!!	"This is the first time that i have ever played a fifty-yer-old!" notes Elijah Wood with a laugh. He is, after all, only just twenty! Wood plays Frdo Baggins, the hobbit who inherits a magic ring with the alarming consequence that he has to set out on a terror-filled journey towards the shadow-filled land of Morder. "According to the book," continues Wood, "Frodo is fifty when he sets out on his quest, although fifty is still relatively young in the life-span of a hobbit. And this particular hobbit is fancinating." Frodo is the newphew of Bilbo Baggins, and ood sees a similarity between those two characters : "Frodo is different, he is slightly set apart from other hobbits. Like his uncle, he is very curious about the outside world. Frodo has read Bilbo's memoirs and heard the older hobbit telling stories of his adventures, and part of him likes the idea of having an adventure of his own." When, however, that adventure comes to frodo, it turns out to be a lot more dangerous that he or his uncle, might have anticipated. His task is to carry the One Ring into the fires of Mount Doom. The Lord Of The Rings Trilogy is the latest venture for an actor who has already achieved much in his tender years. Following early success as a child model, Wood 'f family moved to Los Angeles. It was there that an agent saw Wood and asked if he would like to be an actor. "why not?" answered Wood and he was soon launched on his film career with minor roles in back to the future II, international Affairs and Avalon. His first starring role, at the age of ten, was in Pardise, playing Willard, a young boy who re-awakens the love between Melanie Griffith and Don Johnson as a couple who lives have been devastated by a family tradegy. Later filmes include Forever young, The Good Son, North, Flipper, The Ice Storm, Deep Impact, Chain Of Fools and The Faculty. In 1994 Wood was named Young Star of the Year by NATO/showeast following his performance in The War. Wood has also portrayed tow famous literary charactersm one American and one English: starring in the title role of Mark Twain's The Advenure Of Huckleberry Finn and playing the Artful Dodger, opposite Richarcd Drefuss as fagin, in a television version of Charles Dickens' Oliver Twist. In playing Frdo, Wood is cast alongside fellow american Sean Astin as Sam Gamgee. As Wood observes, the special bond that grows and develops between Frodo and Sam in the three volumes of the books it also at the heart of the film trilogy: "It s a deep relationship and difficult to describe. In one way it is a master/servant relationship because Sam comes from a different class and wants to server Frodo and be there for him because he is very loyal. ut, more that anything, they are best friends." Despite all the efforts of wizards and warriors, it is this one friendship that eventually enables Frod to carry out his quest: "Quite simply, it is love,"says Elijah Wood, "It is that unconditional love that says regardless of what you do or where you go, I will always be there for you."
