From time to time Prof. Olsen has commented on the casting of a very young Elijah Wood as Frodo in Peter Jackson's Lord of the Rings movies. Re-reading the first few pages of "The Shadow of the Past", I noticed this passage for the first time:
As time went on, people began to notice that Frodo also showed signs of good 'preservation': outwardly he retained the appearance of a robust and energetic hobbit just out of his tweens. 'Some folk have all the luck,' they said; but it was not until Frodo approached the usually more sober age of fifty that they began to think it queer.
I don't know enough about acting or directing to judge Wood's performance, but I think they might have got the actor's age right.
