Frodo Baggins Biography
Fictional Character
Frodo is the key figure in The Lord of the Rings, the fantasy trilogy by J.R.R. Tolkien first published in 1954. Frodo is the adopted son of Bilbo Baggins, and both are hobbits: a race of short, plump, cheerful beings who live in a land known as Middle Earth. Guided by the wizard Gandalf, Frodo becomes the unwilling bearer of the Ring of Power that is at the center of Tolkien's tale.
Extra credit: Frodo is played by Elijah Wood in the feature film trilogy of Lord of the Rings which first reached theaters in 2001.
Frodo appears with the mysterious wanderer Aragorn in our loop on The Lord of the Rings... He joins Telly Savalas and Jerry Garcia in the loop Celebs Missing Fingers.
