Martin Freeman would have been a much better Frodo. Elijah isn’t even in the top 100 list of actors that I would cast as Frodo.

The LOTR movies succeeded despite him.

Don’t get me wrong, I like Elijah. I just feel that he was miscast in those films.

    During the 15 or so years when technically Frodo possessed the ring he never used it. The first time he put it on was in Bree. I doubt he was much affected by it during those years.

      As time went on, people began to notice that Frodo also showed signs of good ‘preservation’: outwardly he retained the appearance of a robust and energetic hobbit just out of his tweens. ‘Some folk have all the luck,’ they said; but it was not until Frodo approached the usually more sober age of fifty that they began to think it queer.
