Elijah Wood's film acting career began, famously, with a small appearance as a boy in Back to the Future Part II, and he spent the 1990s establishing himself as a child star through projects like The Adventures of Huck Finn, The Good Son, Flipper, and more. Wood's place in pop culture history was cemented forever in 2001 when he starred in The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring, the first film in the Lord of the Rings trilogy, which made him an international superstar. In Sin City, he was able to lean more into his horror instincts as the sadistic killer known as Kevin.
Following Lord of the Rings, Wood had both the clout and the freedom to take a more eccentric route with his career, and he's since starred in a number of intriguing projects including the TV series Wilfred and Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency, and horror films like Maniac. He's also a prolific voice actor, with credits including Happy Feet, 9, and Star Wars Resistance, and works frequently as a producer, particularly for horror films including Mandy and Color Out of Space.
