Elijah Jordan Wood (born January 28, 1981) is an American actor. Acting since the age of eight, he includes among his many film roles, Frodo Baggins in Peter Jackson's The Lord of the Rings trilogy. Making his film debut at age eight 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.
Wood has a tattoo of the Quenya-mode Tengwar symbol for "nine" just below his waist on the right side, a reference to his involvement in the Lord of the Rings and the fact that his character was one of the nine members of the Fellowship of the Ring. The other actors of "The Fellowship" (Sean Astin, Sean Bean, Billy Boyd, Ian McKellen, Dominic Monaghan, Viggo Mortensen, and Orlando Bloom) got the same tattoo with the exception of John Rhys-Davies whose stunt double got the tattoo instead.[26] He also keeps the One Ring given to him by Peter Jackson in a box inside a box in his attic. Although he has joked in several interviews he is still afraid of it, he's mentioned it's merely because he does not want to lose it.
