Elijah Wood has been working in the industry for a long period. He started his career as a child actor in the film - The Adventures of Huck Finn. He reached peak stardom with the film The Lord of the Rings, and by this time he had managed to typecast himself as a fantasy actor. Elijah Wood was determined to change his image which was perceived in the industry and managed to do so with his role in the film - Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, and even dark roles in films like – Sin City, Maniac, and Come to Daddy, to mention a few.
