"Elijah Wood has confessed that he signed up to his new sitcom Wilfred on the strength of the show&amp;#039;s &amp;quot;unique and difficult to describe&amp;quot; content. Wilfred sees Wood playing a depressed man named Ryan who begins to see his neighbor&amp;#039;s pet Wilfred (Jason Gann) as a man in a dog costume. Wood told AOL TV that he did not consider the seriousness of switching his focus from film to television, revealing that he was immediately taken in by the &amp;quot;extremely funny&amp;quot; nature of the material.  &amp;quot;I was sent the script for this incarnation, and attached to the script there was a reference to the fact that it was an adaptation of an Australian show. So I kind of immediately went onto YouTube to look up clips, which I thought were brilliant,&amp;quot; Wood recalled. &amp;quot;I thought, &amp;#039;Man, if we do anything close to that, then this is going to be such an awesome show&amp;#039;. But yeah, never having done TV before, I think I was slightly naive and really just motivated purely by the content. It seemed so unique and difficult to describe and extremely funny... and extremely layered for a comedy.&amp;quot; However, Wood went on to say that he feels confident in his decision to take on a television series, adding: &amp;quot;The world of television has changed so much in the last five years - there are so many incredible actors, directors and writers who&amp;#039;ve moved to television, and it&amp;#039;s really become a place for great storytelling.&amp;quot; Wood recently claimed that there are &amp;quot;dark motives&amp;quot; under the show&amp;#039;s surface that will be explored throughout the series. Wilfred will premiere in the US tonight at 10pm on FX and will later air on BBC Three in the UK. Watch a trailer for Wilfred below:      "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
