When I first heard they'd cast Elijah Wood as Frodo, I thought that his looks were good for the part. All I'd really seen him in was Avalon, in which he was excellent, so I went to IMDB to read up on him. Rather flabbergasted at Ebert calling him basically the best child actor ever (I'd have given that to Christian Bale). However, now that I find myself arguing every nuance of his performance (while still a teenager) in this role, and having it NEVER occur to any of us that Lij might not be conveying, at any time, just *exactly* what he wants to convey--I stand in awe of his talent. I can hardly wait for the second installment.
