ANDY SERKIS - HALL OF FAME CLASS OF 2022

Our second inductee burst on to the fantasy scene portraying Gollum with his voice acting and motion capture of this sneaky, conniving, and tragic character in the early 2000’s. Andy Serkis has since been involved in the biggest movie and literary franchises in history. After bringing life to Sméagol/Gollum from the Lord of the Rings trilogy, he also portrayed King Kong in the 2005 version of King Kong, gave an amazing performance as Ceasar in Matt Reeves’ Planet of the Apes trilogy, and then reprised his role as Gollum in The Hobbit trilogy.

Since then Andy Serkis climbed up the Nerd ladder even higher by joining the Marvel Cinematic Universe by portraying the smuggler Ulysses Klaue in Avengers: Age of Ultron and then in Black Panther. Then Andy Serkis upped the bar even higher as he gave life to Supreme Leader Snoke in the Star Wars Sequel Trilogy. Andy Serkis is not only an accomplished and talented actor, he also directed Sony Marvel’s Venom: Let There Be Carnage! Now, this year we will see Andy Serkis in a live action role as Bruce Wayne’s butler, Alfred Pennyworth, in DC’s soon to be released The Batman.

An actor with roles in multiple major and iconic franchises such as The Lord of the Rings, Star Wars, DC, Marvel, King Kong and Planet of the Apes and then combined with his skill set, makes Andy Serkis a no brainer for being inducted into The Credible Nerds Hall of Fame for 2020!
