Happy Birthday: Elijah Wood

Elijah Wood

Born: January 28, 1981 in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, USA

[after the last press junket for LOTR in New York:] There’s a real sense of completion now, because we can look at the entirety of the trilogy and say we’ve done it, our work is finished. That’s a great feeling. And I think that, as it comes to a close, we look to the relationships forged in New Zealand and throughout the experience, and they will carry on. The fellowship will carry on. And that gives us great hope. Our lives will interweave forever. [December 18, 2003]

[on filming the scene in The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King (2003) in which “Sam” tries to make “Frodo” recall the Shire:] “That day was very difficult and it was a long day. I remember Peter [Peter Jackson] actually crying on set after a few takes. It was a real defining moment for Sean [Sean Astin] and I, not only in this film, but in our acting” [December 14, 2003].
