But he had a greater influence than that. In 1999, when we were casting Lord of the Rings, it was a struggle to find our Frodo. I assumed he would be a British actor, but after 200 auditions, nobody excited us. Out of the blue, Elijah Wood sends us a self-filmed audition tape. Quite honestly, Elijah never crossed our minds, but he won the role purely on the quality of the audition he had filmed himself, wearing a costume in his backyard. It wasn't until much later that I learned Elijah had run into Harry Knowles on the set of The Faculty, and Harry had convinced him to try for the role of Frodo. We felt lucky, but it was Harry who thought Elijah could play the role.
