For me, I've never drawn a distinction between live-action acting and performance-capture acting. It is purely a technology.
From Andy Serkis
As long as you have the acting chops and the desire to get inside a character, you can play anything.
Playing a character in a video game is different to other performances because your character can't lead the audience of players in one direction.
Over the years, people have asked me, 'Do you think there should be a separate category for acting in the digital realm? Or hybrid sort of awards for digital characters?' and so on. And I've always really maintained that I don't believe so.

I guess I just tend to feel at home wherever I go.
I think my mum wanted me to join the army or something, or become a surveyor - something with good career prospects.
Nowadays, there's no such thing as a stable job.

The fact of the matter is I have done so many parts.
