Well...actually Because of privacy issues Movie Characters are often used to demonstrate how Psychiatric assessments are done and then presented to a court LtCol Kilgore Col Jessup (Jack Nicolson has provided plenty of complex characters) Alex Forrest (Fatal Attraction) Review the character in the films as if they were a patient, then defend or challenge that diagnosis given the limits of your legal systems criteria for criminal culpability and mental illness And Gollum is a common one for Mental Status exams How would you describe his Appearance and behaviours Attitude Speech and Motor function Affect/mood Thought and perceptions Then apply DSM criteria psychotic? Multiple personalities (disassociation)? And...one of the better "fits" for Gollum's behaviour Is substance abuse/addiction I don't know if Mr Serkis knew that when he took on the role But if he didn't, he is a very good amateur Psychiatrist

[@scottcollege213]

If you like guys jumping on chairs, then you're gonna love a guy called Tom Cruise.

[@fireaza]

He's not just doing that as a gag, he needs to hunch over to get the voice right. He also used to drink something he called "Gollum Juice" in order to get that throaty, phlegmy Gollum voice.

[@hildebos1477]

Martin Tang No, Gollum. Sméagol represents Gollum's good side. What Serkis does in this clip is playing Gollum.

[@rickybindahoose6193]

He constantly has two personality's. When he sounds happy that's Smeagol, when he sounds spiteful thats Gollum.

[@MrCow-kb7eg]

Rick Baker and when he’s horny that’s me

[@Cragiesea]

Hilde Bos - So you know Smeagol was his name when his cousin found the Ring at the bottom of the Anduin River. Gollum is what he became once he killed his cousin because of his lust for the ring. Gollum represents his tortured soul controlled and consumed by the power of "The One Ring - The Ring of Power". He was always Still partially Smeagol, which yes was the good part of him barely holding on. It's the reason Bilbo and Frodo took pity on him and spared his life. Anyway that was awesome to watch aye? Andy Serkis is amazing!

[@tonychan8558]

Absolute crime that he doesn't qualify to be nominated for an Oscar whilst doing motion capture, let alone win one. The man is so gifted!

[@williamgiffels9961]

Agreed, and it wasn't just motion capture, it was more like they just added the makeup in post production instead of before filming. No special effects can duplicate those facial expressions, especially the eyes, with that kind of detail and complexity. That's all Andy.

[@yvrelna]

Dylan Jakins It's probably more that the motion capture designers designed Caesar's facial features based on Serkis. That makes the motion capture easier to do, as they would not need as much tweaking to get the right expressions when it's animated.

Never have I ever seen such a dramatic representation of an actor in the moment. In fact, in all my years of theater attendance/performing, television viewing and moviegoing, I honestly don't think anything could say it clearer: mo-cap is just the actor, all the actor. The rest is "scenery." Plus, Mr. Serkis is extraordinary, gifted and so ascended as an actor, which is not separate from being a person. The actor takes in the character, gives that being speech, attention and a space in which to be seen and heard. it's an amazing thing to become the medium through which an actor can vividly show a character as alive and real as anyone. I am in awe of that talent, and that vision.

[@richardathome65]

With the original Apes movies, actors such as Roddy McDowell were rightly praised for being able to express genuine emotion through the latex make-up; motion capture is the direct evolution of that but one which allows the actor a great deal more range and ability to shine through. Andy Serkis is so much more than just "a voice actor", and to even say that shows how little an understanding you have of the art, Lisa.

even more so, He created Gollum! (I mean, of course Tolkien created the original idea of Gollum, but in the original draft by Jackson, Gollum was supposed to be completely animated and they were just looking for a voice actor. Serkis kind of persuaded Jackson that they should do more, he invented the the whole visual mannerism and the speech patterns himself).

5Bigfoots they actually masked the Gollum face after his to make it look better :D

[@mmarsh1972]

Thats because he IS smeagol/gollum. Serkis wasn't just the voice, he was the body too. In order to animate Gollum, Serkis spent months in a motion capture studio where they captured his entire body language and motion for every scene. So when you see Smeagol/Gollum move around in the LOTR..that is actually Andy Serkis moving like that. That's why he moves and holds himself like smeagol/gollum, in the films it really was him.

4:00 His performance is so powerful that he commands people to hold their breath for a second just to hear him.

[@ducheswannabe]

I so much respect for that man. He makes true art of cinema, not in it just for fame or money.

[@Mike-hc3nn]

duchesswannabe yeah keep kidding yourself

[@katsalazar6960]

And what exactly is your problem, my precioussss?!?

[@melvinjoseph3166]

duchesswannabe Come on yar.. He's not some unknown actor doing motion capture This guy along with Cameron and Peter Jackson, is a pioneer of that Ofcourse he has fame and recognition, just not from the academy

[@glittery_cucumber]

His success story is truly inspiring, if you look at how he started out not being very well-respected on the LotR set at first and now being fully recognized as a brilliant actor. Besides, I had no idea he was such a lovely person.

[@Terotrous]

I would watch an entire episode of Gollum Trump.

[@hunterG60k]

I was just watching his reactions the whole time, cutest. thing. ever.

[@aliaj.shafira7203]

Because he is a fan of lord of the ring movies. He was growing up read Tolkien's books. If I wasn't mistaken

[@AslanW]

At 4:23 if you pause it as Serkis looks at the paper, that grin is just _preciouss_

I´ll never get tired of this clip, blows me away every time!!! Plus, Stephen´s face during the tweet reading is simply precious (pun intended :)))

Oh, god. I was having such a crappy week. This made my day and the rest of the days. Thanks, Andy Serkis!

4:05 😂🤣 Andy jumps up onto his chair - it would have been enough for the voice but we got the full on character Precious 🤣😂

[@Pitashri101]

Andy Serkis you are a gem .... That voice, that performance, that stance and "What's Covefefe... precious???", Absolutely brilliant!!!

[@iana3892]

God bless this man for still not minding and maybe even downright enjoying playing Gollum 🥲

[@thelordoftheweebs9501]

It's fun to do the voice

[@the18thbam17]

Stephen was fanboying the whole time he read those lol just look at his face

[@Sweet.Mother.of.Cheesus]

*LOL* I loved to see how much he did geek out! not that I in his place would have freaked out any less mind you ;)

[@GlennDavey]

You can tell the moment Stephen stops being camera -professional when he's literally mouthing the words as "Gollum" says them, which is like a newbie actor thing you have to consciously stop yourself from doing.

[@randiwise119]

I love how the audience just loses their mind when he voices Sméagol & Gollum!!

[@whatisiswhatable]

For real. Pause it at 4:23

[@MrsPaul]

HE is a HUGE LOTR fan.

[@jdax21]

I love the way Colbert called him "My Precious".❤

[@captlanc]

Colbert looks like he's thinking, "This is so awesooooooome!!!" the entire time when Andy Serkis is doing the Gollum voice. But when Andy Serkis turns to him at 4:39, he immediately changes his geeking-out face to a totally cool bro-nod!

[@refinance]

squallofreeves Stephen was geeking out

[@j.po.4325]

lol, omg didn't notice, that how my face was like lol

[@mausewix]

he did this gollum voice himself? wow this is outstanding, i always thought this was an effect on his normal voice. fantastic.

[@tonyforce75]

Same. Omg

[@DragonsAreHungry]

Same. I mean how does he make that voice?

[@thelolguy007]

Me too 😱

[@andreasmerkel5717]

Lord Of The Rings Extended Edition Appendices reveales, that Andy got his inspiration for Gollums Voice from his vomiting cat

[@Vittrich]

they éven had a special drink for him with honey and lemon(dont remember all ingredients) because the gollum voice was hurting his throat so much

[@seoulv8427]

I’m surprise Steven was still conscious considering his absolute love for LOTR. Andy Serkis is such a talented and genuinely kind soul.

[@lushbIood]

Granted the character Gollum is a very distinct type with a very specific set of behavioural traits. I still find it insane how he can casually get in character during an interview.

[@JonathanNeilRhodes]

All late night show interviews are partly scripted and the show hosts and producers would go through, together with the guests, the stuff they would discuss or do before the show begins

[@manavkumar9182]

its blu I am pretty sure sometime while drinking coffee alone in his house he starts talking to Gollum and Smeagol. Who knows ;)

[@msallixir11]

Slightly related: When living in New Mexico I saw a man I knew in a grocery store and kept looking over because I couldn’t remember where I knew him from - legitimately thought he was one of my professors but I couldn’t remember his name or what class he taught and thought it polite to say hi, but didn’t want to seem rude. He walked away looking uncomfortable and I felt really bad about it. Two weeks later I was watching TV and discovered it was Fred Armisen 🤦🏻‍♀️

[@negascoot23]

If Serkis were doing this with Trump's post-election Tweets, he could ditch Smeagol entirely and just go pure Gollum: _"Nasty, tricksy, false Democratses...STOLE it from us!"_

[@alexandresobreiramartins9461]

Yes, it's the kind of effortless move that bespeaks of years and years and years of hard work and training, together with a very intelligent mind.

[@stal2496]

Probably because he has done this for months and in 3 films with same role

[@RoninWaffle]

I'm with you that he's obviously talented, but the man's probably spent a cumulative year of his life in that character. Some shoes slip on easier than others.
