Andy Serkis plays the title role in Peter Jackson's King Kong. Like he did for Gollum in The Lord of the Rings, Andy provided movement, gestures, expressions, voice -- the acting required to create the character of Kong. Andy is also Lumpy the cook, a member of the crew of the Venture, the tramp steamer that sails to Skull Island.
