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.

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

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
V for Vendetta (2006): V
