Today is actor Andy Serkis' birthday.

As Hollywood's leading motion-capture actor, Serkis gained the world's attention when he played Gollum in Peter Jackson's Lord of the Rings trilogy. As the man who made  "Precious" such a fun word to say, Serkis played Gollum in every Lord of the Rings film and The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey.

Serkis also gave a critically lauded performance in the revived Planet of the Apes franchise, playing Caesar in Rise of the Planet of the Apes and Dawn of the Planet of the Apes. He also played Captain Haddock in The Adventures of Tin Tin and Kong in Peter Jackson's King Kong.

Fans can look forward to seeing Serkis in two of this year's biggest films. He will play villain Ulysses Klaue in Avengers: Age of Ultron, and an undisclosed role in Star Wars Episode VII: The Force Awakens.

Born in London, England, Serkis turns 51 years old today. Happy Birthday, Andy Serkis.
