One of my first responses to my agent was, ‘Well, you know, I’m not really a voice actor. “The way that the job had been explained to me was that they were making these films of The Lord of the Rings down in New Zealand and that they wanted a voice for a digital character. “Can you just get me a decent audition for one of the proper roles?” Here, the actor remembers auditioning for the role – one he thought at the time was only going to involve his voice. Andy Serkis’s Gollum, only glimpsed in Fellowship, took center stage in The Two Towers, and Serkis’s performance, along with the technology that made it possible, would change cinema for decades to come. A year after Fellowship stunned moviegoers, the world once again joined a large collection of characters on their journeys across Middle-earth – Gandalf the (now) White, Sam and Frodo, Aragorn, and the rest – but it was one character, with two natures, who would steal the show. The Two Towers was the film that proved Fellowshipwasn’t a fluke – that director Peter Jackson’s Lord of the Rings trilogy was going to be a landmark event, with each entry equal to the last. It showed that Jackson and his fellow writers had the skill to match their gargantuan ambition. THE MOVIE: The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers (2002) 95%
