this really interesting interview with andy serkis was passed around at work today. despite my complete apathy toward the upcoming king kong, i have an immense respect for andy serkis and this is a very informative read i think. being that the main roles he’s played are essentially animated characters and that he’s a thoroughly trained actor, it’s good to hear in his words how he tackles his challenges. i found the comparison between how he played king kong vs. gollum particularly interesting and also the level of research that he puts into his roles. all very good stuff that can be seen in his performances.
