One of the LotR fan communities I occasionally read has taken to 
referring to _Hidalgo_ as "Viggo dirty on a horse!".  :)

Well, Elijah Wood was only 18 when they cast him for LotR - he hasn't 
had a whole lot of grown-up time . . .

. . . And he seems to be one of those male actors who (a) is shorter 
than normal, (b) has a naturally fairly high speaking voice with a 
bit of a break to it, and (c) has really insense light eyes.  This 
combination tends to lead to playing high-school or college-aged 
characters for forever, or at least for way too long.  It took 
Michael J. Fox until he was almost forty to overcome this.  Tobey 
Maguire has made some comments that _Seabiscuit_ is his attempt to 
escape the category.  I suspect Wood will be in it at least through 
his twenties.
