For people like Elijah Wood, I would say that before he was working. Deep Impact was hokey, The Faculty was essentially a Class of 84/99 retread. They're alright, but just that. He was a notable child actor who was trying to transition into more adult roles. I'd say he was known, but not the first person you'd ever think of. Lord of the Rings changed that. It made him an "actor". From there, he got a lot more work and he was able to influence what he worked on.
