Last fall, Serkis took part in a reading of Tolkien's "The Hobbit" to celebrate the book's 75th anniversary (and promote the upcoming film adaptation, naturally), playing out the famous "Riddle" scene from the novel to the delight of the assembled crowd. Though the character's mournful exit at the end of "An Unexpected Journey" is probably the last time we'll see Serkis perform on screen as the computer-generated character, the actor thankfully hasn't retired Gollum from public appearances. But it was English actor Andy Serkis' extremely memorable portrayal of Gollum in Jackson's "Lord of the Rings" trilogy that helped cement the character as one of pop culture's greatest - and most complex - villains. The corrupted and conflicted cave-dweller was an iconic literary character decades before director Peter Jackson ever got hold of author J.R.R.
we hardly knew you! With the release of "The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey" in December, "Lord of the Rings" fans have likely seen the last of the slimy, cadaverous, ring-coveting creature known as Gollum. Frodo! I won't wait around for him to kill us! You miserable little maggot! I'll stove your head in! He's a horrid, fat Hobbit, who hates Sméagol, and who makes up nasty lies! I heard it from his own mouth! He means to murder us! I didn't mean it to go so far I was just so, so angry. You're a lying rat! What did you do with it? And they say sneak! Sneak? Very nice, friend. Smeagol shows them secret way that nobody else could find. Sneaking? Sneaking? Fat Hobbit is always so polite. We soon forgot the taste of bread, the sound of wind in the trees. They cursed us, and drove us away.Īnd we wept precious.
