Question
Elijah Wood as Frodo Baggins relaxing with a pipe in the Shire. Looks lovely!

What was Elijah Wood's first movie?

Last updated: May 31, 2024

Frodo and Samwise.

Go ahead, put 'em up there with some of the all-time classic film duos:

  • Harold & Maude
  • C-3PO & R2D2
  • Abbot & Costello
  • Beavis & Butt-Head

If Elijah Wood and Sean Astin aren't weirdly close in real life, I might cry.

But even Frodo himself had to start somewhere — and of course, Elijah started very young. Somehow, he doesn't get enough credit for transitioning from child star to seemingly well-adjusted adult.

What film was the first to credit the future hobbit with a role?

Click START to answer.

 

The answer is: Back to the Future Part II. Elijah Wood made his feature film debut in a very brief role in Back to the Future: Part II. Marty McFly is playing a new arcade game in the year 2015 at the futuristic Café 80’s when Elijah’s character approaches in a stylish hat. Elijah grew up watching the original movie as a kid and said it was an extremely bizarre experience to suddenly find himself inside of that world as an actor. Too bad nobody at the time knew arcade machines would be all but extinct in America by 2015.Source
