GIVE THIS MAN AN OSCAR!

AND A RING!

[dawnwelch]

Loved how Serkis jumped on the chair to get into character! A MASTER!

1:16 Andy describing Gollum as "a 3.5 ft ring junkie" just made my day

[astridbirgitteovern]

I didn’t realize that Andy Serkis did the voice without any digitalization. I thought it had to be run through some computer program to sound like that. I was blown away!

[suzetteglz]

I love that his instinct was to go into gollum position, can't do the voice sitting straight.

[tonychan]

Absolute crime that he doesn't qualify to be nominated for an Oscar whilst doing motion capture, let alone win one. The man is so gifted!

[skaggulkbergstrom]

The guy without hesitation just jumped up in the seat and became the legend that he is.
Just WoW.

[Kxvca]

He voices Caesar, Smeagol, Snoke and acts as a decent side villain in the Avengers series, along with playing King Kong. What a true legend.

[mineMissHellsing]

I just love how he automatically jumps on the chair to Gollum. He's not just doing the voice, he's doing the whole character. Such a great actor.

[Jldaws]

That light, athletic, spontaneous, PHYSICAL leap into character stole my heart. This man is a treasure. <3

[paulcourtemanche]

The fact that he called Gollum a ring junkie is hilarious.

[spinakker]

I've never seen Serkis in interviews before, and I know him only from a few roles, but when he instantly jumped on the chair to get into character, WOW, he became my new favourite actor/person

[jamesmunsey]

The depth that he brought to Gollum was incredible, the pain, confusion, grief, and rage was palpable. It was one of the best jobs acting as I have ever seen, I felt pity for that poor broken creature as much as Bilbo or Frodo did looking at his face. ❤❤❤

[MetalHeadReacts]

I love the look on Stephen's face while he's doing his Gollum voice...

[LordSesshaku]

In my opinion, he was robbed of at least one Oscar as best supporting actor for Gollum.

[sweetsassy]

did anyone else get chills when he hopped up on the chair...brilliant actor

[kartikpandey]

That was epic. He didn't just speak like Gollum, he became Gollum

[JoshJenrayAK]

“Could I have you read Trump’s tweets as Gollum?”
Mr. Andy Serkis, acting master:
“Lemme just get into full character—[boing!]”

[giftheck]

I'd pay to see a "Gollum reads Tweets" series.

[Chuck-PK]

4:20 ``... or so DIRTY!`` OMG Stephen`s face at that moment, PURE GOLD!
