Hugo Wallace Weaving AO (born 4 April 1960) is an English actor. Born in Colonial Nigeria to English parents, he has resided in Australia for the entirety of his career. He is the recipient of six Australian Academy of Cinema and Television Arts Awards (AACTA) and has also been recognised as an Honorary Officer of the Order of Australia. Weaving landed his first major role as English cricket captain Douglas Jardine on the Australian television series Bodyline (1984). Continuing to act in Australia, he rose to prominence with his appearances in the films Proof (1991) and The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert (1994), winning his first AACTA Award for Best Actor in a Leading Role with the former. By the turn of the millennium, Weaving achieved international recognition through appearances in mainstream American productions. His most notable film roles include Agent Smith in the first three The Matrix films (1999–2003), Elrond in The Lord of the Rings (2001–2003) and The Hobbit (2012–2014) trilogies, the title character in V for Vendetta (2005), and Johann Schmidt / Red Skull in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) film Captain America: The First Avenger (2011). In addition to his live action appearances, Weaving has had several voice over roles, including in the films Babe (1995), Happy Feet (2006) and Happy Feet Two (2011), and the Transformers series as Megatron (2007–2011). He also reprised his roles of Agent Smith and Elrond in Matrix and Lord of the Rings video game adaptations.
Adventure Time follows Finn, a human boy, and Jake the Dog, his adoptive brother with magical stretching powers, as they explore the post-apocalyptic Land of Ooo. Centuries after a cataclysmic event called the Mushroom War, civilization has been rebuilt with a whimsical, surreal twist—kingdoms ruled by candy, ice, and fire coexist alongside dungeons, monsters, and ancient mysteries. Finn and Jake embark on episodic quests to help friends, rescue princesses, and uncover the dark secrets buried beneath Ooo's colorful surface. As the series progresses, it evolves from lighthearted adventure comedy into a complex narrative exploring themes of mortality, responsibility, identity, and the weight of growing up. The show balances absurdist humor with genuine emotional depth, featuring a rich cast of characters including the Ice King, Princess Bubblegum, Marceline the Vampire Queen, and BMO, a sentient video game console. What begins as simple dungeon-crawling adventures transforms into an epic saga about friendship, loss, and the search for meaning in a broken world.
