Hugo Weaving
Hugo Weaving (born April 4, 1960) is an 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 and portrayed the Red Skull in Captain America: The First Avenger.
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.

Notes
- In a television interview on June 13th, 2007 in Australia on the Ten Network's news hour, director Michael Bay stated that Weaving had recorded his lines as Megatron in Australia while Bay directed him from the U.S. using Apple iChat, and thus, he had never actually met the actor.
- In a November 2008 interview for the Sun Herald, Weaving revealed he had accepted the role of Megatron after a personal request by Bay, and he had in fact never seen Transformers. He's still awesome though.[citation needed]
- During his revelation of his return to Transformers in Revenge of the Fallen on March 4, 2009, Weaving stated that he had already recorded his dialogue, once again with Bay in Los Angeles while he was in Australia. He said that during recording he had a strange conversation where Bay implied that what they were doing was supposed to be a big secret. [1]
- He wasn't aware until told during an interview that there was a third movie in the making. [1]
