Hey Dan. Thanks for the trivia lists on Elijah Wood. He has been a very busy actor the last 30 years…..so I can see why he has such a high Oracle ranking. Lots of the LOR alumni have made three movies with him, but only Hugo Weaving can add another couple of movies for a total fo 5 with Frodo. As for the second list….27 Oscar winning co-stats is pretty high for an actor so young….at least pretty young…lol. Good stuff as always.
Great UMR Page
Thank you Mike.
