We've had our eye on you for quite some time now, Mr. Weaving...

Hugo Weaving (1960-) is a Nigerian-born British-Australian actor best known for playing Agent Smith in The Matrix trilogy, Elrond in Peter Jackson's adaptation of The Lord of the Rings, V in V for Vendetta and the Red Skull in the 2011 Captain America film, among others such as The Adventures of Priscilla Queen of the Desert.

For Australians over a certain age, he will also be remembered for his portrayal of 1932-33 Ashes series English cricket captain Douglas Jardine in Bodyline, an Australian 1984 television miniseries dramatising the controversial season. A bit like Agent Smith in the 1930's, if he only despised Australian humans, and was only allowed to kill them with a cricket ball.

Definitely One of Us, as he's stated that he's been taking roles so he can collect action figures of his characters and have fight each other: Elrond and V vs. Agent Smith vs. Red Skull. Ummm... if there was a movie of that the screen would probably explode.

Needs a Better Description and Wiki Magic.

Hugo Weaving has performed in the following roles:

The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert (1994)
The Matrix Trilogy (1999-2003): Agent Smith
The Lord of the Rings Trilogy (2001-2003): Elrond
