- American actor, best known for playing Frodo Baggins in the Lord of the Rings trilogy. He also was the voice of Mumble in Happy Feet. He was recently in town this spring/summer to film a new TV series called Dirk Gently, to air on BBC America. In late June, he was gracious enough to stop for a picture while on a break from filming an outdoor walking scene at Guelph Park in Vancouver's Mount Pleasant neighbourhood. There are few photos of him flashing his pearly whites, so I especially like this picture because of his winning smile!

- American actor, Elijah Wood, best known for playing Frodo Baggins in the 'Lord of the Rings' trilogy. He also was the voice of Mumble in 'Happy Feet'. He was recently in town this spring/summer to film a new TV series called 'Dirk Gently', to air on BBC America. In May, I caught up with him in downtown Vancouver shortly after his arrival and before filming got started. He was very polite, and signed a 'Lord of the Rings' DVD insert for my daughter. He seemed happy to be back in Vancouver - was last here around 14 years ago he said, so this wasn't his first time in our beautiful city.
