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

[@dynamitedingo8183]

[@mineMissHellsing]

[@Necronite]

mineMissHellsing u mean smeagol

[@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!

[@astridbirgitteovern7662]

I didn’t realize that Andy Serkis did the voice without any digitalization. I thought it had to be run through some computer program to sound like that. I was blown away!

[@shidharthrouth]

yes i saw a lot of videos of behind the scenes before stumbling onto this one.. to be actually able to do it without any voice modulating device is a great feat .... damn how much i wish for an oscar for such a great performer !!!!!

[@jiv32]

Andy Serkis doesn't need cgi to become Gollum. I could totally see Gollum and Smeagol reading those tweets. What a phenomenal actor.

[@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.

[@spinakker14]

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.

The most underrated actor in Hollywood, this man deserves an Oscar for every movie he’s done.

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.

[@mycroft16]

Elijah Wood and Sean Astin were so thankful Andy acted alongside them as Gollum, too (they didnt have to imagine Gollum because he was there).

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.

(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.

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.

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.

He also did an absolutely amazing job at narrating the LOTR series on audible 👌👌

[@shuyin-gamingchannel1791]

He is not only a great actor but also a great human being. He deserves an oscar and IMO also be knighted. Hats off to you sir

[@dennisklay1395]

SHUYIN - Gaming Channel I couldn't agree more with you

[@felixandre8330]

SHUYIN - Gaming Channel Yeah !! Make it happen!

[@mankyt]

SHUYIN - Gaming Channel Sir Andy Serkis, has a nice ring to it

[@thewpbard]

Jediraisey NO! NO RINGS! ONE WAS ENOUGH!

[@uppercut2246]

Knighted! Ohh you mean from the biggest drain on the British Tax Payer, those inbreds that wave to you from Benefits Balcony! Well, if you want a taste of reality, I'll give it to you. The next time your feeling all patriotic, spare a thought for the 8,000 + Veterans that are sleeping on our streets, while these Elitist Royals demand more money. Wake up people, time to smell the Coffee. KZbin 'Eric Dubay 200 Proofs'. Crazy Hey. Critical thinkers only.

[@JediPhoenix1976]

Love how when Serkis goes into his Gollum voice, Colbert looks like a 5 year old who just laid eyes on the real Santa Claus

[@SuburbanSavage]

Without CGI, Stephen completely de-aged into a 11 year old boy and it was awesome!

[@lesleywilcox]

He completely fan boyed right then.

[@jdb79jdb79]

ha! look at stephen's face. he's soooo excited and happy. like a kid in a candy store

[@trenzalore92]

Jesse Brennan he is a neeeeerd

[@artistbychoice2964]

It's so cute!!

[@Undertakerrules100]

Jesse Brennan, on the outside hes acting as an adult seeing his favourite actor but on the inside he is screaming with excitement

[@trentlintzen8496]

I love the way Stephen Colbert's face lights up when he starts using the voice

[@TheJoscelyne]

Stephen is a true nerd and I love that he makes no effort to hide it

[@LittleB2007]

I'm crestfallen. It's unfair on a cosmic scale that just one man has so much talent in his body and I have zero... :(

[@refragerator]

Nah mate, you got talent yourself -you just gotta find out what it is. Try out everything that seems interesting to you (obviously as much as you can, since we're all bound by school, work, etc) and find the thing that you're having fun with and are good in. Guaranteed, you do have talent. I have to find my own still, btw, but I'm sure it'll come to me eventually.

[@puupipo]

littlebrit2007 Don't you dare go hollow. (someone will get this, I hope)

[@DanielAndersson80]

Wow! I always thought that the smealgal/gollum voice had a digital aspect. It's refreshing to see it was 100% real.

I can do a decent Gollum voice as well, lol. I've met a few other people who can do it too. Totally possible in real life :D

[@percussionjamz6704]

andy serkis does a lot crazy work.

[@iana3892]

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

[@thelordoftheweebs9501]

It's fun to do the voice

[@szopaful]

Stephen is so happy listening to Serkis it's adorable.

[@cryptkicker71]

Stephen had a look of a kid on Christmas Morning when Andy started to speak.

[@dennisschrank5654]

HES HAPPY ITS A SHILL,COLD BERT CANT INTERVIEW AND MOST CELEBS DONT LIKE HIM, AT LEAST BEFORE THE TRUMP BASHING WENT FULLTIME.WAS DUE TO BE CANCELLED AND TRUMP SAVED HIM.YOUR WELCOME!!

He's a huge LotR fan

[@YasminMouse]

Michal Wspanialy his nerdom had reached its peak 😂

[@sylvesterselvanathan1411]

He got into character in the blink of an eye and thats when you know, he is a great actor!

[@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.

[@Raffalius]

If i could do that voice, i would probably never use my regular voice ever again ^^

[@Bloodletter8]

These tweets made so much more sense coming from Gollum.

[@orthusgames9888]

yes they did

[@huntern3071]

I want all Trump speeches in this voice. Then I will actually be able to sit thru them withought having a stroke

[@TheBlarggle]

Did you ever see Mark Hamill read them as The Joker?

[@MrsHoranPayne]

I always feel like Stephens holding back tears whenever he has a one of the cast of lotr aw

[@LifeOdysseyMotivation]

I noticed that too.

[@AllenHanPR]

I met this guy 5 years ago, recognized him immediately. He was so humble and took a few photos with me and chatted.

[@knightress2784]

[@Daekeyas]

watching Stephen light up during the reading is a delight. He's just so happy to have Gollum there

[@w.d.k.podcast1348]

Admit it... Your smile fucking glistened right when he jumped on the couch and spoke

[@danielpratama7402]

Andy Serkis is haunting!! Jeezzz, 'em shivers caught me in between that smile

[@thedude4672]

More! I want to hear Gollum read more Trump tweets! #Precious

[@kasag37]

W.D.K. Podcast look at Stephens face when he finished reading that first tweet..he looks like he's about to start giggling and clapping like a fan girl..it's beautiful

[@thesightofpeace9750]

W.D.K. Podcast I had the biggest dumb smile the entire time he was reading the tweets.

[@ToniGlick]

So glad he got to see the audience response for those performances. They should do a whole Broadway show of Andy just reading trump tweets in different voices.

[@theplourde]

Stephens face is like a little kid on Christmas as he's reading like Smeagol

[@eizapez3549]

theplourde you know he really enjoyed his job on this specific day.😊

[@Chuck-PK]

4:20 ``... or so DIRTY!`` OMG Stephen`s face at that moment, PURE GOLD!

[@BlazingCosmos]

Chuck PK I laughed so hard at that part

[@DetroitAnalog]

[@NoahPfister]

He's a boy in a candy shop. He can't contain himself.

[@tigqc]

Dude is a legend.

[@Jiff321]

I didn't realize he did the voices too. Hes the only person who can do the Golum voice without sounding like a complete douche.

[@Dawn2Dusk23]

moemoney131 that's because he IS gollum/smeagol

[@Jiff321]

Haha yeah I know but whenever I hear someone try to do an impression of it, I want to make sure people know I am not with that person.

[@romilrh]

Initially, I was surprised when Andy just jumped into his chair. Then I realized, he's been doing very physical acting for years

[@TheJECNova]

"Man of a Thousand Faces" literally Best demonstration of "getting into a character's skin."

[@codedlulu8821]

Andy Serkis should have a KZbin channel where he reads people comments and reacts to other people"s videos in Gollum voice. i would watch ,share and subscribe to that shit

[@lichcoin6144]

Coded lulu And support through Patreon.

[@svenzverg7321]

True. But the thing is, he probably do not want to be stuck in this role. Gollum character was great, genius even, but Serkis is definitely not one ßcharacter actor.

[@codedlulu8821]

Either way it's gonna be a while, but he"ll still have the funs support whichever project he picks

[@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 ;)

[@EmB61491]

He's awesome?

[@AnnoDomini2690]

its blu Taqiyya (Shia) or Muda'rat (Sunni): tactical deceit for the purposes of spreading Islam. • Kitman: deceit by omission. • Tawriya: deceit by ambiguity. • Taysir: deceit through facilitation (not having to observe all the tenets of Sharia). • Darura: deceit through necessity (to engage in something "Haram" or forbidden). • Muruna: the temporary suspension of Sharia in order that Muslim immigrants appear "moderate".

[@WestNorf]

+Anno Domini you are just awful

[@ej3016]

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

[@pearle3777]

Just an absolute acting legend. He has a wonderful attitude and personality too. He’s a rare gem in Hollywood..

[@traceytaggart1740]

Lol I don't remember when was America precious before. Power hungry manipulator, looter monster..... It doesn't sound precious at all.

[@zacf.4480]

@@emmk4992 with that logic when was any country or land precious? Use some common sense

[@justinekibler8198]

PLEASE, Andy Serkis, make everyone's life better and create a channel dedicated to reading Trump's tweets as Gollum. I would watch this every day of the year!!!!!

[@mineMissHellsing]

Yesssss

[@stevolution666]

Justine Kibler check out gollum j trump

[@Kronecraft]

We need to have a co-reading with Gollum/Smeagol and the Joker!

[@gregorybfratis]

Holy hell I agree 110% that was hilarious!

[@kasag37]

Justine Kibler oh dear God please make this happen!!

[@klauspendolo1393]

My God Andy was BRILLIANT reading those tweets. He should have had a standing ovation for it. Had to go back and see it again....3 times 😂❤️

[@eroraf8637]

Only three times? LOL. Rip my replay button 😂

[@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

[@DEADisBEAUTIFUL]

Son of a bitch, that was the coolest pieces of filmmaking I’ve seen. The change from actor to character was incredible. Mr. Serkis is an amazingly talented artist.

[@benchaggaresmusic]

Imagine him ordering McDonald's like that😂

One Big-Mac Large Fries And...MY PRECIOUS!!! 💍

[@JusBidniss]

"I'm sorry sir, your Filet-O-Fish meal has 3 more minutes. Could you pull around to #2 just over there?" "OH! It's a naaasty server, isn't she, Precious? Trick-sey and false! _(gollum)_ It's supposed to be faaast food, Precious, not 'pull around to #2 food'! _(gollum)_

I would watch an entire episode of Gollum Trump.

[@datamasked623]

I have no screenwriting experience, but I think if we all got enough drugs we could probably pull it off.

[@teddytiger5217]

The absolute, *unbridled* glee in Stephen's face when Andy is reading those lines is probably the best part of this clip. :)

[@klijnsmitguitars2979]

This kind of acting so so pure, nobody knows he did it, he`s not getting credit like a Ryan Gosling but does the same ammount of work, he`s in it for the acting performance, not the glory. This is a true artist.

[@nhaikof7056]

Klijnsmit Guitars YES

[@MrUltracoin]

very good I like Ryan too by the way! It was an exame of known / not so known.

[@Jeff-wn5sv]

If after watching that, you can't imagine Gollum's voice coughing out, "MAGA! MAGA!" at the end of a sentence, you're not trying hard enough.

[@TheJECNova]

ROTFLMAO damn you, now I'm gunna hear that EVERY. FUCKING. TIME. I see or hear "Maga/Maga-t" 😂😂😂

[@PerpetuallyDaydreaming]

Man, we don't deserve Andy Serkis

Turn rightsiess!

[@morpheuslordofoneiroi3293]

I don't, because then we wouldn't be able to enjoy it. Kind of like the VA for Bart Simpson. She's not allowed to do that voice anywhere but the studio that is recording.

No. You can't copyright a voice.
