Elijah Wood started acting young and landed a tiny role in Back to the Future Part II (1989). By 12, he was already starring opposite Macaulay Culkin in The Good Son (1993). He kept busy with movies like Forever Young and The Adventures of Huck Finn, but everything changed when he played Frodo in The Lord of the Rings (2001–2003). That role turned him into an icon overnight. After that, he stuck mostly to indie films, voice acting, and producing, staying away from the usual Hollywood path.
