When he completes “The Hobbit” movies, Serkis aims to direct his first live-action feature. English film actor, director and author Andy Serkis is known for his performance capture roles comprising motion capture acting, animation and voice work for such computer-generated characters as Gollum in The Lord of the Rings film trilogy (2001-2003) and The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey (2012), the eponymous King Kong in the 2005 film, Caesar. Serkis has already done some directing, including performance capture on a couple video games including “Heavenly Sword.” But, he said, “When Peter asked me. “A lot of the crew from ‘The Lord of the Rings’ was returning to work on ‘The Hobbit.’ There is really a sense of Peter wanting people around him who totally understand the material and the work ethic.” “I think I understand Peter’s sensibility and we have a common history of understanding Middle Earth,” Serkis told The Hollywood Reporter. In addition to reprising his role as the tragic creature, Serkis also has been hired by Jackson to serve as second unit director on the two films, which are now in production in New Zealand. British actor Andy Serkis, star of the new film 'The Prestige' about two rival magicians, poses at the film's premiere in Hollywood, California October 17, 2006.
