Motion Capture Is Exactly What It Says:

That's What I Think Is The Biggest Challenge, Is Just Being Still And Learning How To Just Be Present In That Stillness And Not Over Do It, Not Over Act.

I Was Thinking About That. I Was Thinking, This Is Like Our Boyhood; This Is Like Our Getting Together Over 12 Years To Make - This Our Apehood! I Mean, This Is It! For Me, The Relationships, All Of Those Things, Over Such A Long Period Of Time Now With Actors, But Also Seeing The Characters Grow, Develop, And Change, And Go Through Different Situations.

When I Was In Theater I Was Forever Trying To Inhabit A Space Which Puts Yourself Under The Microscope As An Actor And Your Personality And Your Take On Life, But Actually Through Another Portal Of A Character.

I Think Even Back As Far As 'lord Of The Rings,' There Was Always The Chance That 'the Hobbit' Would Be Made, Even Way Back Then. Of Course At That Point, Peter Jackson Didn't Probably Think At That Point That He'd Be Directing It.

Not A Day Goes By Where I'm Not Reminded Of Gollum By Some Person In The Street Who Asks Me To Do His Voice Or Wants To Talk To Me About Him. But Because 'the Hobbit' Has Been Talked About As A Project For Many Years, I Knew That At Some Point I'd Have To Reengage With Him.
