Andy Serkis (Rise of the Planet of the Apes)

Andy Serkis - Rise of the Planet of the Apes Interview

Andy Serkis has starred in some of the biggest movies of the last ten years, including King Kong and The Lord of the Rings, yet the average movie watcher would not recognize him. There's a reason for that—his roles were motion capture-based, CGI characters like the giant ape Kong and the creature Gollum in LOTR. Now, the English native continues on the motion capture path to Hollywood stardom with a role as the unusually intelligent ape Caesar in Rise of the Planet of the Apes.

Bonnie Laufer from Tribute spoke with Andy about why he took on another creature role.
