  • Andy Serkis's performance as Gollum in the Lord of the Rings movies was impressive, especially during a challenging scene in near-freezing water. Despite the film's warm appearance, the set had snow, requiring hours to clear. Serkis's dedication, acting in such harsh conditions, added authenticity to Gollum's character.

    Man Andy Serkis needs to get a lifetime achievment award for his Gollum performance!

    I really hope he will one last time give his 100% as Gollum in the new movie. Man is a living legend.

    If you have ever been in an ice bath, you understand the pain he had to go through before the numbness set in. Meanwhile, he had to act the whole way through.
    My hat is off to Andy.

      Does he read The Lord of the Rings books or did he just read The Hobbit? If he did read LOTR, I'm going to have to buy it at some point! :) I already have his reading of The Hobbit and it was totally awesome! I also have Rob Inglis's reading of both, and they're great, too, in their own way--but Andy really yanks you in hard with his reading of The Hobbit! Inglis's readings of The Hobbit and LOTR will always have a special place in my heart, though, because that's one of the ways I first read them. :)

    Jackson had a couple of guys out of camera near Andy, in case he'd start slide towards the waterfall. Luckily, he didn't.

    Visiting Nz I recognised this spot coming down from Mt Ruapehu . I have photos of my family climbing all over place . There’s a drop of a slight waterfall where the guards looking down could shoot Gollum . It was just on the side of the road . 😂

    I jumped into a little pool at the bottom of a waterfall once. When i hit the water it was so cold that underwater i gasped from the shock of it and sucked in a bunch of water. And it wasn't even snowing. I could not imagine hitting that icy water 🥶

    The only good thing about being that cold is that your skin is too frigid to bleed. You don't bleed until you warm up, hours later.

    Um, if there is a cliff, but you are filming from in front of him, you really shouldn't be afraid of him falling off.
