Elijah Jordan Wood ( /ɪˈlaɪdʒə ˈdʒɔrdən ˈwʊd/; born January 28, 1981) is an American actor. He made his film debut with a minor part in Back to the Future Part II (1989), then landed a succession of larger roles that made him a critically acclaimed child actor by age 9, being nominated for several Young Artist Awards. He is best known for his high-profile role as Frodo Baggins in Peter Jackson's critically acclaimed The Lord of the Rings trilogy and its upcoming prequels The Hobbit films. Since then, he has resisted typecasting by choosing varied roles in critically acclaimed films such as Bobby, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, Sin City, Green Street and Everything Is Illuminated.
Wood starred in the film Day Zero (2007) and provided the voice of the main character in the award-winning animated musical films Happy Feet and Happy Feet Two. Wood also voiced the lead as 9 in the Tim Burton-produced action/science fiction film 9. He played an American tourist turned vampire in Paris, je t'aime. In 2005, he started his own record label, Simian Records. He currently appears as Ryan in FX's dark comedy Wilfred, which debuted on June 23, 2011.
Hand over my soul
This futures in your hands
Control my every move
A slave without a service
Discarded in disgrace
I walk alone
This is the path I've chosen
For myself
And now I walk it alone
My eyes held open
By the thought of you
This sleep is my only comfort
Pain is my last escape
Dismantled without you
I cant myself
Or pick up the pieces
Hack me apart
Lead astray
By what held us a apart
My eyes held open
Sleep is my comfort
You in this darkness
I try and find you
In this darkness
A darkness that wont end
