Andy Serkis

Andy Serkis says he has no problem with his face not often being seen in films.

Serkis is back on the big screen next week as he reprises the role of Caesar in Dawn of the Planet of the Apes: another motion capture role.

Serkis has really been a pioneer with motion capture performances, with the likes of The Lord of the Rings, The Hobbit, King Kong, and now Dawn of the Planet of the Apes under his belt.

He told the Wall Street Journal: "I was never not comfortable with it, I have to say. What I've always loved about acting was the transformative [sic] experience.

"And when I started of as a theatre actor before I got into film at all... for me it was about ... using myself, but being able to say something about the human condition, the further away I got from myself."

Serkis played Caesar for the first time back in 2011 in Rise of the Planet of the Apes - in what was a magnificent performance.

This time around, Serkis has teamed up with director Matt Reeves and is starring alongside Gary Oldman, Jason Clarke and Keri Russell.

Serkis has also been working as an advisor on Avengers: Age of Ultron, as they continue to develop the character of the Hulk.

Dawn of the Planet of the Apes is released 17th July.
