Peter Jackson blockbuster Lord of the Rings, the FX television comedy Wilfred, and even Disney’s XD animated series TRON: Uprising would never have been complete without Elijah Wood’s extraordinary talent. Elijah Wood is not only exceptional in acting, but also highly talented in DJing, voice acting, and even film production; he is indeed a Jack of all trades and a master of them all. He’s been like this since he was a child.

In the following, you will find everything you need to know about the former child actor and how much he made out of the Lord of the Rings trilogy.

Who Is Elijah Wood And How Did He Get Into Acting?

Elijah Wood is from Cedar Rapids, Iowa, and was born on January 28, 1981, as the son of Debbie and Warren Wood. He is the second child of the family. His older brother Zack was born in 1974, while his younger sister Hannah was born in 1983. He is of English, German, Austrian and Danish descent.

His mother, who showed a gift for performing at a very young age, made him familiar with future livelihoods by taking him to an annual congress of the International Modeling and Talent Association in LA. Soon after, he began to get small roles in television productions.

He made his first appearance in a film in 1989 in a movie called Back to the Future Part II (1989), but his first major film role was in a historic family drama called Avalon (1990) in 1990.
