Hobbies: writing, reading, cinema, music and of
course, Andy Serkis!
Aditional info: I've been a fan of Andy's since
seeing him in "Oliver Twist" was aired back in
December 1998 and was thinking what a great presence
the guy had, and huge blue eyes!! I was sort of aware
of who he was having seen him in other stuff, but it
was only then I thought "Wow!"
Favorite Andy Serkis film: A difficult one this! :-( I would say
"Pandaemonium", as his portrayal of John Thelwall
simply dominates the scenes he is in.
LOTR: ROTK - the opening sequence as Smeagol before
the corruption of the Ring is beautiful played and the
tranformation scene is unbelievably painful to watch.
Also, "Deathwatch" , which I spoke to Andy about in
great length at C4.
What I like about Andy: One of the things that
attracts me to Andy, apart from the obvious
attraction! - is the fact that he is a
consummate actor. He can make you believe that he is
hte character completely - and not, Andy Serkis
playing a role. I love the fact that he spends months
researching the character's background even if he is
only in a small scene (such as "Topsy Turvy") and at
C4, I asked him about Quinn, the character he plays in
"Deathwatch" - whom I find fascinating to watch!
It turns out that we both agreed that there was a
steak of humanity in him; just watch his face before
he goes to kill Tate and that it was the war that
turned him into this desensitised killing machine.
Comments: Andy is a great bloke as simple as that. I
finally got to meet Andy three times last year (once
at C3, four separate occasions at C4, where I got to
ask him a question at the TTT pre-screen talks and
again at "The Double Bass" which played at the
Southwark Playhouse where we chatted for a while about
his future work etc...and I know that he will continue
to surprise us with his up and coming projects. ;-)
