He meant to say that voice-acting isn't what he is highly paid for. He is a screen actor in the first place, followed by voice-acting being his second working area. Though he probably voices his played-on-screen-characters only.

Hobbit, LotR, Silmarillion, Unfinished Tales, Children of Hurin and Book of Lost Tales; that's the ideal order although I never read The Hobbit for many years until after reading the Silmarillion. It's fair to say that you miss nothing by not reading the Hobbit - a children's book, a literary bagatelle; there's enough in the LotR Prologue and Appendices to sufficiently cover that episode as long as it's clear that THAT was the context of Bilbo finding the One Ring.

This dude really doesn't get enough recognition for his brilliance.

Andy helped to create a role for all motion actors. He not only is a fantastic voice actor, he gives life to characters that don't have a truebody. Such an amazing tallent.

Andy has done many great characters, and I too love both Kong & Caesar....but for me, Gollum will always be his best character. I remember when I saw LOTR as a little kid, and I saw Gollum for the first time: I didn't know whether I should laugh or be scared, hate or petty him.....there are SO many layers in that character, and he just added even more layer as he took the role, and made it his own. People also seem to forget, that he didn't just do voice-over. Andy really did PLAY the role as Gollum, and were in every scene, with his white Gollum-suite on ;)

Andy and the Weta crew matched the character of Gollum as I pictured him while reading the books so perfectly, in voice, looks, and action! I wish Tolkien had been able to witness his performance and the digital character.

What a cool guy!

It's really cool how voice actors (or just regular actors) can find inspiration for their characters. Love you Andy Serkis!

Such a great example of a curious, observant and creative mind

If one can learn from even the most mundane of events and transform it into a life of it's own, that's pure genius!

Am a bit sad Mr Serkis didn't mention anything about Gurgi from the black cauldron being his inspiration to the portrayal of Gollum

I’m not even sure he knew about that movie at least at the time since it’s pretty obscure for a Disney movie.

An actor who read the material and thought his way into the part. Plus some well-deserved inspiration from the cat.

Truly one of the greatest actors ever!

I can imagine every night, Andy Serkis sitting on a chair with a cat on his lap and he crawl his finger through his cat and say: "My precious" with Golum's voice.

I do an exact Gollum impression and did it in front of my poor daughter. She freaked out!! LOL

The mental image of him reading the tolkien books and his cat suddenly starting to gag near him and him then observing the cat, very interested in the whole thing is making me crack up so bad :'D Brilliant :D

My precious...

2:07 laughed with the crowd 🤣🤣

He voice acted in a dramatic recording of The Screwtape Letters. Most beautifully creepy thing I've ever heard.

I was just watching the 1984 Muppet Babies cartoon with my daughter and Gollum sounds just like Baby Animal, voiced by Dave Coulier.

Whenever I see his face, I literally see Gollum ^^

i love him so much

I love learning about stuff like this! It's great.

Despite what he says, I still think Gurgi from The Black Cauldron was a huge influence.

Dude, GIVE THE MAN HIS OSCAR ALREADY!

Thank you, Andy's cat for making Gollum's voice successful.

He is AMAZING man. Just amazing.

When I first saw Gollum I was like “What the f?” I didn’t know what I was expecting but that wasn’t it. But once I got over my shock, I really began to appreciate the performance and the look of the character. I also thought back to when I had read the book and realized that the film had nailed it better than any version before as the book had told us Gollum had once been a hobbit and that the shriveled human like look was more accurate than the kind of reptilian thought that I had. Now I can’t imagine Gollum looking any other way. When you look at the behind the scenes footage and realize how much they based Gollum’s facial movements on Andy’s facial expressions you realize what an amazing performance and technical achievement it was. Andy Serkis is a master of this type of acting and tho was the beginning of it!

This video is awesome, really cool to see how it all started! :D

I love his hair!

Andy deserves an Oscar!!

the cat gets some of credit then c:

Hes so good.

wowwwwww!!!!! there's a quote that goes somehow like creativity is all about connecting the dots of our experiences in life and making that into something and mehn andy serkis just proved that with this

What a legend. Basically created a new segment of the industry from his imagination with this character. Btw I've got a Gollum voice tutorial on my channel! :)

Holy shit, that is Moran Cerf interviewing Andy!! He was on tom bilyeu!

Absolutely brilliant

Will never look at my cat puking up her furball the same way again.

His narration of the books is epic

"I'm not a voice actor" goes on to create an iconic character voice

As soon as he said ‘cat’ I knew where this was going lmao

Considering Tolkien actually used a guttural voice for Gollum when he narrated "Riddles in the Dark", it sounds very much like Andy's version.

Looking forward to seeing him in the new star wars

Andy Serkis makes a great Gollum/Smeagol how do you do that accent mark on the 'e'???

Oh Andy, you underestimated your r theatre background in creating the most *ICONIC* character *EVER!*
