Presented at Academy Awards in place of Macaulay Culkin He was the first recipient of the NATO/ShoWest Young Star of the Year Award Elijah Wood heard about the Lord of the Rings trilogy while filming Faculty, The (1998). Immediately, he sensed that this was the chance of a lifetime. Director George Huang, a personal friend of Wood's, filmed his audition tape for the Lord of the Rings Trilogy. He shot the scene from different angles which were cut together for the video. They sent the video off to New Zealand for director Peter Jackson and a few months later, he got the part. the Smashing Pumpkins are his favourite band Brother of Hannah Wood Owns one of two prop rings used in "Lord of the Rings."

[about urinating in Peter Jackson's favourite fountain in Wellington, NZ, after a night out drinking:] "We were walking home and saw this fountain. Dom [ Dominic Monaghan] and I looked at it and he said 'We should conquer it.' Once we got to the top, what else was there to do but urinate in it?" [quoted in MX (Melbourne, Australia), December 11, 2003] [hearing that Sean Astin wanted to correct rumors that his character Sam Gamgee had a homosexual love for Frodo:] "Yeah, we've never had that perspective on the relationship, but there is a real bond and a real closeness. Which was easy for Sean and I because we became so close making the film. So it's a natural thing to display and to show and I think it comes across without any real effort ... Frodo really starts to fail physically and emotionally and mentally, so Sam is there to kind of pick up the pieces and show his affection for Frodo and really almost carry him to the end. So that relationship is really important in this film, particularly. ... I think it's really refreshing and nice. I'm really close with my friends and affectionate, and I don't think that there is anything suspicious about that, necessarily. So it's good to show it and have it be an unisexual thing, definitely."
