In The Lord of the Rings film trilogy, who played Frodo Baggins?

Elijah Wood played Frodo Baggins in The Lord of the Rings film trilogy.

Wood was cast as Frodo by director Peter Jackson and appeared in all three films: The Fellowship of the Ring (2001), The Two Towers (2002), and The Return of the King (2003). Frodo is the hobbit entrusted with carrying the One Ring toward Mount Doom.

The role made Wood internationally famous, although he had already acted in films such as The Good Son and Deep Impact. His performance focuses on Frodo’s physical endurance, moral uncertainty, and growing burden as the journey progresses.

A common mix-up is confusing Wood with Sean Astin, who played Frodo’s companion Samwise Gamgee. Dominic Monaghan played Merry, while Billy Boyd played Pippin.
