Elijah Wood

Elijah Wood's long career in Hollywood, beginning when he was just 8, taught him that there "are a lot of vipers" in the industry, he told the Sunday Times in a new interview.

Wood compared unnamed child abuse allegations in America to the Jimmy Savile abuse scandal that rocked the United Kingdom after the longtime entertainer faced hundreds of sexual abuse allegations following his death (and thus his loss of protection from scrutiny).
