He had the ring for... I want to say 17 years (my copy of the book is loaned out at the moment) before the quest began, and he was, I want to say 52, which would leave his halted aging at 35. So, you do have a bit of a point, but casting someone that young is really a head-scratching moment for me, especially since they cut out most of Frodo's more youthful moments (like dancing on the table, singing "The Cow Jumped Over the Moon" at Bree....)

And... this is a bit crazy, but I'm thinking of starting another thread where I'd review the films one scene per post, since I have a lot to say on the subject, and I would need to watch the films again to give a really thorough analysis, as it's been a while, but they're a bit long, in case you never noticed. :p
Cold silence has a tendency
to atrophy any sense of compassion
between supposed lovers.
Between supposed brothers.
