Andy Serkis defends motion capture as 'very misunderstood' acting

omelete.com.br (Portuguese) —

Actor Andy Serkis, known for motion-capture roles like Gollum, says the technology is "very misunderstood" and that his performances are real acting, comparing them to prosthetic makeup work. In a recent interview with The Times, Serkis explained he has stopped trying to convince skeptics, saying "life is too short" and accepting that digital masks are less understood than physical ones. Serkis will reprise his role as Gollum in "The Lord of the Rings: The Hunt for Gollum," which he also directs, set for release in December 2027.
