Andy Serkis isn’t like the others on this list since he does not don pounds of make-up and prosthetics in his creature performances. Andy, is the top CGI performer in the world. What does that mean? He does the performances and then the computer artist CG in a character on top of his performance. What notable characters has he done you ask? Well, he played King Kong in the Peter Jackson remake of King Kong. Also, he was amazing as Gollum in the blockbuster Lord of the Rings trilogy, and The Hobbit. Andy played Caesar in Rise of the Planet of the Apes, and is reprising his role as Caesar in Dawn of the Planet of the Apes.
