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.
Cybertron, home planet of the Transformers, has been consumed by death because of the war between the Autobots led by Optimus Prime & the Decepticons led by Megatron. The AllSpark, an artifact of ancient power that gave the Transformers life, was ejected in the stars by Optimus to prevent Megatron from using it. Optimus & a few Autobots take off in the Ark to find it, and use it to restore Cybertron. They crash land on a new planet called Earth and they meet a human named Spike Witwicky, his wife Carly, & his son Daniel. The Autobots vow to defend Earth as they don't want it to suffer the same fate as Cybertron. (1st film in my new Transformers Live-Action Film Series)
