The Ring Master
Scott Huvers

The baby-faced Baggins is now in his 30s. Which means he's done the Hollywood impossible-successfully gone from child star to serious actor. During his chat with Men's Book we discover that even with all his fame, Elijah Wood still has two oversized feet planted firmly on the ground.

Elijah Wood could be forgiven for feeling a tad schizophrenic this year.

Professionally, that is. The 31-year-old actor's putting the "multi" in multifaceted with a packed slate of diverse projects that each show off a different, well, facet: There's Wood the television comedian-returning for a second season of the hit cable series Wilfred; Wood the voice artist, vocalizing the digital hero of the new Tron: Uprising animated series; Wood the indie actor, offering an against-type stint in the romantic dramedy Celeste and Jesse Forever; and-perhaps most significantly-Wood the screen icon, who once again walks in the sizable feet of Frodo Baggins as he reprises the role that made him a global superstar for Peter Jackson's two-part film adaptation of J.R.R. Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings precursor, The Hobbit.

And yet, after trying and retrying on all those different identities, Wood reveals himself to be an apparently-and, among many of his onetime-child-actor peers, perhaps remarkably- centered personality. "It's only when people kind of reference the fact that I'm really busy that I realize that I am really busy," he says of the seeming uptick in his current creative output. "But it's wonderful. Everything I'm doing is relatively varied-which is exciting and keeps it interesting. To have the ability to do that- I'm very happy. It's awesome."

It's not at all the norm to see a career that began at the age of 8 still going so "awesomely," but Wood has successfully navigated the oft-dangerous waters of a showbiz childhood, maturing through a much-praised succession of boyhood roles into an impressive roster of films any actor of his generation would
