Andy Serkis

Andy Serkis (born April 20 , 1964 ) is an English Actor of Armenian heritage who was born and brought up in Ruislip , London , England . He is best known for 'playing' Gollum by providing the voice and movements for the CGI character in ''The Lord Of The Rings'' Movie Trilogy ( 2001 – 2003 ). His acclaimed work on the trilogy set off a debate on the legitimacy of CGI-assisted acting. Some critics felt Serkis should have been nominated for an Academy Award For Best Supporting Actor for his performance but the Academy ruled that he did not qualify.

In the 2005 Version of King Kong by Peter Jackson (who also directed Lord of the Rings) he also provided the movements for that movie's CGI version of King Kong, as well as playing Lumpy the Cook. He has played over 30 other roles in film and television productions throughout his career.
