I agree with Iggy's take on Thewlis's quote. I don't
believe he was questioning Daniel's talent in the
least. No one (or, at least, few people) question
Elijah Wood's talent, but it's pretty universally
acknowledged that escaping from Frodo Baggins is going
to take some extra effort on his part - and, from what
I've read, he's choosing his subsequent roles with
that in mind, picking parts that are about as far from
Frodo as he can get (like a serial killer in "Sin
City" which is now filming).

Of course, Elijah has the benefit of having played
many different roles before becoming Frodo; Daniel
hasn't played that many. So it may be more difficult
for him to break away from Harry, but it can be done.
I think Thewlis was just remarking on how difficult it
may be, though it's no fault of Dan's.
