In an industry that heavily uses motion capture to make its films realistic, Andy Serkis has already mastered its craft. He revolutionized the art of motion capture over the years. It is a shame that he has not received an Oscar for this, as there is no category for it even as the Mo-Cap performance continues to grow. Andy has starred in several iconic films and discusses the motion performance to be nominated for an Oscar. Without him, motion capture as an art would not be so popular. Andy Serkis used to walk all fours for the role of Golam in Lords of the Rings trilogy.
To celebrate his 57th birthday, we’re taking a look at his 5 best performances, both normal and mo-cap, ranked in ascending order!
Captain Haddock (The Adventures of Tintin)
Captain Haddock in The Adventures of Tintin
This animated film, directed by Steven Spielberg, used motion capture as a base capture to make the film’s scene realistic. It is in this that Serkis plays the role of Captain Haddock as he complements the character’s characteristic Scottish accent and brings much needed humanity to the role.
King Kong (King Kong)

Sarkis reunites with him So many Peter Jackson, the director, is playing a double role in the film. In his human form, Andy plays Lumpy the Ship Cook, who gets one of the scenes of death in the film. And then Andy also helps bring 25 feet of appa to life with the help of motion capture. The set-set he provides truly represents the gorilla, and he helps bring out a wide variety of emotions. Regarding a role that is only playing the role of a monkey, he definitely knocked it out of the park.
Ulysses Kalu (Black Panther)
Upsides Cleoules in Black Panther
Entering 2015 with the Marvel Universe Avengers: Age of Ultron
, Serkis reprises her role black Panther Ulysses as Klaue. The arms seller is smuggling, Andy steals every scene and he is really fun to watch on screen.
Golam (Lord of the Rings trilogy)
God in the Lord of the Rings trilogy
Gollum was one of Andy’s early roles where he used motion capture. Appearing in all three epic films directed by Peter Jackson, this is the role that made him popular. Golam is depicted as a character consumed by greed and that greed is wonderfully depicted by Serkis. Especially given that the films were shot in the early 2000s, the technique here is revolutionary and their performance with CGI for character building has aged really well. Andy Serkis will give a 12-hour live reading of The Hobbit to host an ‘armchair marathon’, raising money for health charities.
Caesar (Planet of the Apes trilogy)
Caesar in the Planet of the Apes
In this reboot series of the iconic Planet of the apes The franchise plays the role of Sarkis Caesar, a chimpanzee who becomes extremely smart as a result of a laboratory experiment and starts a rebellion of apes. Despite being no stranger to playing the role of a player already on screen, Serkis brings so much depth and emotionality to a CGI character that it’s not hard to work here. In my opinion it is still a shame that he did not get a single Academy Award nomination for his performance.
