Abstract:
A look at the career of the man best known for his remarkable portrayal of Gollum in the Lord of the Rings trilogyAndy Serkis is well known to movie fans as Gollum, but there is far more to the actor than one hit role. When he started with the trilogy, Serkis already had 15 years of experience in theater, television, and film, portraying characters who were eccentric, complex, and even monsterous. Now that he has made his mark again with movie fans as Captain Haddock in Steven Spielberg's The Adventures of Tintin, and prepares to revisit Gollum for The Hobbit, this biography examines the life and career of this most intriguing of actors.
