I'd Like To Think That We Strive

The Learning Curve Is 'the Hobbit' Is Being Shot In 3d.

Gollum Is Gollum - Though In 'lord Of The Rings' He's 600 Years Old And In 'the Hobbit' He's 540, So He Looks A Little Bit More Handsome.

But That's Not What An Actor Does. An Actor Finds Things In The Moment With A Director And Other Actors That You Don't Have Time To Hand-draw Or Animate With A Computer.

People Think, 'oh, Well How Can 'the Hobbit,' Which Is One Book, Become Three Films?' But You Can Take One Line From An Appendice And It Turns Into A Whole Sequence.

I Love Playing Real Characters... If They're Not Around Anymore It's Helpful Because You Won't Get Sued! But There's So Much Research Involved And I Love That Part Of The Process.
