Andy Serkis is an English actor and director best known for his motion-capture performance as Gollum in Peter Jackson's Lord of the Rings and Hobbit film trilogies, a role that helped establish performance-capture acting as a respected craft. Beyond his screen work, Serkis has recorded acclaimed new audiobook editions of J.R.R. Tolkien's work, narrating The Hobbit in 2020, the full Lord of the Rings trilogy in 2021, and The Silmarillion in 2023. Serkis has said he first read The Hobbit as a child on his school bus and was frequently so absorbed he missed his stop, and his recordings are widely regarded by listeners as bringing a lifelong personal connection to Tolkien's world alongside his professional command of character voice.
