Wood modeled and did local commercials before moving with his family to Los Angeles in 1988. There his acting career started, and in this year was his first break, when he was only seven years old, in a video called ‘Forever your girl’.
His first appearance in a film was in ´Avalon´ in 1990 when he was only nine years old. The next year he secured his first starring role in ´Paradise´ in 1991, and he received good reviews for his performance in that film. And from there, he went on to co-star with Mel Gibson in ‘Forever young’ and with Joseph Mazzello in ‘Radio Flyer’ (both were released in 1992).

In 1993 he appeared in ´The good son’, and in 1994 he starred in ´The war’ with Kevin Costner. His performance in this movie gained him a nomination for a 'Young Star Award'.

But the most important film that he had appeared was ´The lord of the rings’.The director (Peter Jackson) chose him for the part of Frodo Baggns in this film because he thought he was perfect for the part of the small hobbit because he has blue eyes and elfin features. And since his impressive performance as Frodo Baggins there has been even more interest in him.

After his appearance in ‘The lord of the rings’ he appeared in ‘Eternal sunshine of the spotless mind’ in 2004. Also in 2005, Wood starred in Everything Is Illuminated, in which he plays a young American Jewish man on a quest to find the woman who once saved his grandfather during the Second World War, and Green Street Hooligans, as an American college student who falls in with a violent English football firm. Both had limited release, but were critically acclaimed.

  • My opinion
Although he is too young, he is one of the best hollywood´s actors. With just a few years of career he has appeared in many films and he had co-starred with some important actors. I like him because when he acts it seems that he is living the real life and it doesn't feel like he is acting.
