He plays one of the elves of Rivendell in the movies, during the Council of Elrond he is seen sitting two seats away. The shy elf became immensely popular, so popular that his fans made up a fan-name for the elf, Figwit. The name was made up by Tolkien fan Iris Hadad; after seeing Frodo agree to take the ring, saying "I will take it", the film switches to a shot where Figwit can be seen standing on the far right, and Hadad's initial reaction was "Frodo is grea...who is THAT?!?".
