History Creator / AndySerkis

* DoingItForTheArt: Not only did he destroy his voice box and bust his body on-location while playing Smeagol/Gollum, he had to ''repeat'' his entire performance. This was because back then, digital replacement technology was still in its infancy, and Serkis had to go back into the studios, months after shooting had wrapped, and painstaking replicate his movements and performance for the CGI teams to reconstruct Smeagol/Gollum for the final product.

Andy Serkis married actress and singer Lorraine Ashbourne, and the couple have three children: daughter Ruby (b 1998), and two sons, Sonny (b. 2000) and Louis George (born 19 June 2004).

Andrew "Andy" Clement Sarkisian (born 20 April 1964 in Ruislip Manor, England) is an English actor, painter, and director. He has three sisters and a brother. As a child, Serkis wanted to be an artist; he was fond of painting and drawing, and visualized himself working behind the scenes in productions. Serkis studied visual arts at Lancaster University. There he became involved in mechanical aspects of the theatre and did stage design and set building for theatrical productions. Then Serkis was asked to play a role in a student production, and made his stage debut in Barrie Keefe's play ''Gotcha''; thereafter he switched from stage design to acting, which was a real calling that transformed his life.
