What's After the Movie
Andy Serkis
Born as Andrew Clement Serkis on April 20, 1964, Andy Serkis is a celebrated English actor and filmmaker. He is particularly notable for shaping the landscape of motion capture acting, animation, and voice work for computer-generated characters. His excellence in this niche area of acting is demonstrated by his convincing portrayals of Gollum in The Lord of the Rings film trilogy (2001–2003) and The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey (2012), King Kong in the eponymous 2005 film, Caesar in the Planet of the Apes reboot series (2011–2017), and Supreme Leader Snoke in the Star Wars sequel trilogy films. These performances combine to form an impressive body of work that has earned Serkis an Empire Award and two Saturn Awards for his motion-capture acting. He has also enjoyed success in traditional acting roles, earning a Golden Globe nomination for his portrayal of serial killer Ian Brady in the British television film Longford (2006) and a BAFTA nomination for his performance as new wave and punk rock musician Ian Dury in the biopic Sex & Drugs & Rock & Roll (2010). His other notable roles include Ulysses Klaue in the Marvel Cinematic Universe and Alfred Pennyworth in The Batman (2022). Besides his acting endeavors, Serkis is an accomplished director. His directorial debut was Breathe (2017), and he later directed Venom: Let There Be Carnage (2021). He owns The Imaginarium, a production company and motion capture workshop in London.
