> Well, lets start off by admitting to ourselves that guys like Elijah Wood and Sean Astin in particular (heck, probably even Viggo Mortensen, at least in the USA) didn't really have strong resumes before Fellowship.

Dude! Crimson Tide, Carlito's Way... I know people like GI Jane.. not my favorite, but I'll give it to him. When was The Road? I think that was after. The Psycho remake... I know it got panned, but he was good in that, Anne Heche wasn't great, but he was really good.
