Elijah Wood stars in "The Hobbit," Parts 1 and 2, as Frodo Baggins, reprising his role from the trilogy of films based on "The Lord of the Rings" novels, by J.R.R. Tolkien.

Elijah Wood also stars in FX's comedy "Wilfred" as Ryan, an introvert who struggles to find social and professional happiness, until he meets Wilfred (Joe Gann), who is part Australian Shepherd, part Russell Crowe on a bender. In addition, Wood is set to star in Syfy's upcoming miniseries "Treasure Island" (2012) as Ben Gunn.
