Hugo Weaving

Never send a human to do a machine's job.

Hugo Weaving (born April 4, 1960) is an English-Australian actor, perhaps best known for his roles as Agent Smith in The Matrix and as Elrond in The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit trilogies of films. He gained his first experience as a voice actor in the Babe films, where he played Rex the sheepdog, the titular hero's foster father. He also played V in V for Vendetta, portrayed the Red Skull in Captain America: The First Avenger and drag queen Anthony "Tick" Belrose/Mitzi Del Bra in the 1994 film Priscilla, Queen of the Desert.

In one universe, he's really an undercover agent working for Sector Seven, trying to hide the N.B.E.s from the public and covering it up by acting in fictional movies, like that thing with the jewellery or the internet that plugs into your brain. This is all, of course, to keep you from seeing the historical documentary. Or make you see it. Either way works.

“ ...I very rarely do something if it’s meaningless. It was meaningless to me, honestly...I never read the script. I just have my lines, and I don’t know what they mean. That sounds absolutely pathetic! I've never done anything like that, in my life. ”

“ Do you ever get sick of actors that make $15 million a picture, or even $200,000 for voiceover work that took a brisk one hour and 43 minutes to complete, and then complain about their jobs? With all the problems facing our world today, do these grumbling thespians really think people reading the news actually care about trivial complaints that their job wasn’t “artistic enough” or “fulfilling enough”? ”

Sector Seven agent H. Weaving convinced S.S., M.B., R.O., and A.K. to put him in charge of the "Megaman issue." Sector Seven ARG

In the Sector Seven ARG (Alternate Reality Game), Transformers (film) and all related fiction, materials, and promotional materials are actually a counter-information campaign designed to discredit leaks and cover up the existence of N.B.E.s by presenting the facts about them as fictional events. It is suggested that Generation 1 was a similar campaign.
