Wood's singing was his first noticeable talent as a child. After performing onstage and acting in musicals, he was discovered by his manager-to-be at a talent convention; his first job was in Paula Abdul's video for "Forever Your Girl." He followed that with small roles in Back to the Future II, Internal Affairs and the bomb North, about which critics said Wood was the only good thing. He'll probably always be known best for his landmark role, the fake-ears-and-furry-feet hobbit Frodo in the Lord of the Rings trilogy, but it won't be for lack of trying — he's followed up the successful trilogy with a series of quirky parts in offbeat films like Sin City, Everything Is Illuminated and Paris Je T'Aime.
1. His favorite food is fried artichoke hearts dipped in ranch dressing.
2. He donned a puffy shirt and suspenders and filmed himself playing a hobbit in the California woods to get the role of Frodo.
3. He dated German actress Franka Potente, almost seven years his senior.
4. Wood smokes clove cigarettes, a habit he picked up while filming The Faculty.
5. He plays piano, sings, cooks and bites his fingernails.
"I hate the fact that there are people who, because of their celebrity, think that they deserve more and live a lifestyle that is higher than other people's, and as a result they treat people like s--t."
