Wood achieved international fame in the early 2000s for playing the hobbit Frodo Baggins in Peter Jackson's The Lord of the Rings film trilogy(2001–2003), based on the classic fantasy novel of the same name by English author J.

Wood founded the record label Simian Records in 2005, which was dissolved in 2015. He directed the 2007 music video "Energy" for The Apples in Stereo. In 2010, Wood co-founded a horror film production company, The Woodshed, which was renamed SpectreVision in 2014.
