Interesting to note - in an OT fashion - that Peter Jackson was 
adamant he wanted an "unknown English" Frodo and held casting 
sessions in the UK. It was only when Elijah Wood heard of the part 
and sent Jackson a videotape of himself in hobbit get-up from the US 
that Jackson realised he'd found his perfect Frodo.
