Summary

Elijah Wood has been a part of our lives for all of his life. Before he was even a teenager he'd worked with the likes of David Fincher and Robert Zemeckis and in the decades since has become a permanent part of pop culture history thanks to his role in THE LORD OF THE RINGS. Now Elijah, always a big-time genre fan, is mixing it up in READY OR NOT 2 and seems poised to make a return to the shire in THE HUNT FOR GOLLUM. He joins Josh to talk about it all.

The last actor you were mistaken for? Most recently, I think it was actually Toby McGuire, which does still happen. And it's always for Spider-Man. It's not for any of Toby's other work. In what context? What do you mean? It's just, hey, Spider-Man! Like, no, no, no. They literally say, hey, Spider-Man? Yeah, I won't correct people. Maybe they think you're actually Spider-Man, not Toby McGuire. Maybe they're like... Maybe you're right. Maybe I've got it wrong all this time. That's possible. Prepare your ears, humans. Happy, sad, confused begins now. Hey, guys, it's Josh.

stuff over here. Okay, Elijah Wood. This guy does not need much of an introduction, but I'll just say

1:35.1

he's been doing it all his life. He's been doing it with class and just, and a plum. He's, he's,

1:42.3

he's so relaxed in his own skin, has a good head on his shoulders, and has the stories to tell.

1:48.2

We talked in this one all about everything from, yes, The Rings, of course, a little sneak peek at The Hunt for Gallum, which, safe to say, I think we're going to see Elijah in.
