"Beginning in a childhood split between Ruislip and Baghdad, AndySerkis takes us - and his characters - on a journey through the early influences that shaped him: acting mentors, early roles at a regional repertory theatre, a passion for mountaineering, a desire for film-making and the love story with Lorraine Ashbourne that became the foundation of his life. Then, the call arrives in 1999 that changes everything. Peter Jackson is preparing to make The Lord of the Rings and Andy is asked to audition for the voice of a certain animatedcharacter. What follows is an extraordinary behind-the-scenes journey through the fantastical worlds Andy has helped shape - The Lord of the Rings, Planet of the Apes, Black Panther, Star Wars and more - as he pioneered a new form of performance that would forever redefine the possibilities of cinema. In this book, Andy invites us into a genre-defying conversation between actor and character, imagination and reality, and provides an answer to the question: what would Andy's most iconic characters make of the man that brought them to life?"-- Provided by publisher.
