He is the youngest member of the main cast of The Lord of the Rings. He played the role of Frodo, who was chronologically the oldest of the four hobbits in the Brotherhood. However, this could be attributed to the One Ring’s ability to stop age like it did to Bilbo.

In 2003 Wood played the lead role in the DTV film All I Want and also appeared as ‘The Guy’ in Spy Kids 3D: Game Over . The final chapter of the Rings trilogy, The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King was unveiled in December.
