Andy Serkis—Now
Now: A longtime collaborator of Rings director Peter Jackson, Andy Serkis continues to perform in motion-capture gear to bring to life characters like King Kong, Caesar in Rise of the Planet of the Apes, and Captain Haddock in The Adventures of Tintin. He’s also appeared in his own skin in 13 Going on 30, The Prestige, and Little Dorrit. Serkis has reprised his role of Gollum in both The Hobbit films.
