Serkis, as you well know, created the title character in King Kong, Peter Jackson&#8217;s giant movie. Before that, Serkis &#8212; wearing a motion-capture suit, as he did for Kong &#8212; played and voiced Gollum, the twisted creature in Jackson&#8217;s Lord of the Rings trilogy. But Serkis isn&#8217;t entirely unrecognizable. &#8220;It&#8217;s funny &#8212; with Gollum and now Kong, I always thought that I&#8217;d be completely anonymous,&#8221; says the 41-year-old British actor, &#8220;but because of DVDs and behind-the-scenes stuff and Kong Diaries, yeah, people do recognize me, not to an unhealthy extent. I have a certain amount of anonymity, and certainly professionally I&#8217;m not typecast. Well, it&#8217;s not that you can be typecast, because there aren&#8217;t that many roles for 25-foot gorillas.&#8221; [<a target=\"NEW\" href=\"http:\/\/www.sun-sentinel.com\/features\/lifestyle\/sfl-kingkongdvdapr02,0,6695539.story?coll=sfla-features-headlines\">More<\/a>]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>He had the biggest role in the movies last year, but Andy Serkis doesn&#8217;t have to worry about&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"inline_featured_image":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":false,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2},"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[32,10,5,130,74,167,149],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1561","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-serkis","category-lotr-cast-news","category-lotr-movies","category-old-main-news","category-jackson","category-jackson-other-films","category-lotr"],"aioseo_notices":[],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p1tLoH-pb","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.theonering.net\/torwp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1561","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.theonering.net\/torwp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.theonering.net\/torwp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.theonering.net\/torwp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.theonering.net\/torwp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1561"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.theonering.net\/torwp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1561\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.theonering.net\/torwp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1561"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.theonering.net\/torwp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1561"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.theonering.net\/torwp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1561"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
