		Andy Serkis: I don't think it was strange because I'd done all the physical work in fact because most of the movement, nearly all the movement, that I've done is translated into the CG character it's not weird.
		Andy Serkis: I wanted to find somewhere where - because Gollum is called Gollum because of the way he sounds, the voice that emanates from his throat, and I wanted to find somewhere where he carried his pain the most and I thought that his throat would be the right area.
		Andy Serkis: When I went in for the audition I had worked on a particular version of the voice but when I got out to New Zealand it became apparent that the relationship between Smeagol and Gollum, in the script, was going to be much more defined.

		Andy Serkis was unenthusiastic when he heard that they were searching for actors to play Gollum in "Lord of the Rings." But after his now-wife began gushing about what a wonderful character Gollum was, he went in for an audition, armed only with a voice that sounded like his cat throwing up hairballs.
		Andy had done mostly small roles in films and plays when he received an intriguing casting tip from his agent: Apparently, New Line was making a trilogy of films based on the "Lord of the Rings" series, and needed someone to voice the character of Gollum.
		Andy's tale is engaging and honest, relating the hardships he endured in bringing the character to life and only increases my respect for him as a performer and a human being.

		ANDY: The hugest challenge, I suppose, was with Gollum there was a vast amount of dialogue to describe his psychological state.
		ANDY: No. He has a physicality and a way of behaving which is built up around his experiences of life and what he is, and Kong the same.

		SERKIS: I think Gollum and Kong are both photo-real characters and actually, "I, Robot" was as well.

		Indeed, Serkis was merely accepting another job in his 15-year career (much of it supporting and spent in British television) when the opportunity arose to breathe life into bipolar "Lord of the Rings" menace Gollum.
		And so, Serkis put on his motion-capture suit and went to work, jumping and screaming and beating his chest while providing a crucial template for Jackson; the visual artists who would render Kong with their computers; and sightline-dependent co-stars Naomi Watts, Jack Black and Adrien Brody.
		Serkis insists that Gollum and Kong's successes are all in the tiny details, as is so much of Jackson's work.

	Lord of the Rings
		Because of Gollum’s crucial role in the journey of Frodo and Sam toward their destination where the Ring must be destroyed, Jackson was determined that the character must be entirely authentic, a presence that would carry as much reality and emotional weight as a live actor.
		The collaboration between creative teams and Andy has resulted in the first character of his kind -- an entirely performance-based digital creation that “acts” as much as any actor in the film.
		As Jackson and Oscar-winning director of photographer Andrew Lesnie supervised actor Andy Serkis’s performance on set, the animators at WETA Digital studied the resulting performance to remake it digitally, using his movements and facial expressions to animate the Gollum that would ultimately “act” in the scene.
