Andrew Clement “Andy” Serkis (born 20 April 1964) is an English film actor, director and writer. Serkis is famous for his performance capture parts consisting of motion capture acting, animation and voice work for such computer-created characters as: Gollum in “The Lord of the Rings” movie trilogy (2001–2003) and “The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey” (2012), King Kong in the eponymous 2005 movie, Caesar in “Rise” and “Dawn of the Planet of the Apes” (2011, 2014) and Captain Haddock in Steven Spielberg’s “The Adventures of Tintin” (2011). Serkis’ movie work in motion capture continues to be critically acclaimed, earning him recognition from many organizations that don’t traditionally recognize motion capture as “actual performing”. Serkis has received an Empire Award, a National Board of Review Award, two Saturn Awards and a Screen Actors Guild Award because of his motion capture work. In 2014, he was supported as part of the primary cast of “Star Wars Episode VII”, at the same time as having a supporting part in “Avengers: Age of Ultron”, each of which is published in 2015.

#Quote
1[ on The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey (2012)] Trying to get back into the head of "Gollum", it felt like kinda doing an impersonation if a character I had played. It was weird 'cause it was like having to re-own it again.
2[on learning at 'ape school' how to walk and move like a simian, playing Caesar in Rise of the Planet of the Apes (2011)] When you are watching yourself as an actor who has played a computer-generated role [King Kong], obviously you are looking to see if your performance has fully manifested itself on the screen, and if it contains all the original intention that was put there. And what I've seen,so far, has delighted me, because I know Rupert [Wyatt] has been devoted to try and push the emotional core of all the performances right through the post-production phase.
3I've always been really in touch with my primal instincts. In my profession you have to be. You have to be open to going where your emotions take you. Acting is a sort of pressure cooker that allows the fizz to come out the top. God knows what I'd be like if I didn't have that. Even more animal, perhaps.
4I do feel incredibly liberated when I'm inside another's skin, basically, and so method does afford you that, hugely.
5"We didn't want to anthropomorphize him to the point where we were explaining every single little gesture. Gorillas, both in captivity and the wild, have an enigmatic quality - a sense of disconnect, of otherness" - on his title character in King Kong (2005).
6[on playing Gollum in Lord of the Rings:] "Everyone has their own interpretation of what he is, what he looks like and how he sounds. So it was up to me to just trust my own instincts."
#Fact

2Has thrice co-starred with Jamie Bell: Deathwatch (2002), King Kong (2005) and The Adventures of Tintin (2011).

9His family name, Serkis, is of Armenian descent like Mikhail Vartanov's and Sergei Parajanov's but originally would have been Sarkisian, Vartaniantz and Parajanian (respectively)
10His last day of filming on the Lord of the Rings trilogy was only a few weeks before the theatrical release of The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King (2003). On the carpet of Peter Jackson's living room, they filmed the facial reaction of Smeagol/Gollum when he realizes Frodo intends to destroy the ring. The resulting video was e-mailed to Weta Digital so the animators could replicate the shot with the CGI character.
