Näin Sormuksen herran ohjaaja reagoi Klonkkuun, kun ensimmäisen kerran näki

Muun muassa The Lord of the Ringsin Klonkkuna, Planet of the Apesin Caesarina ja King Kongin... King Kongina muistettava Andy Serkis ilmaantui näkyville Chicago Comic & Entertainment Expolle, ja tietojen mukaan selvisi, miten Sormuksen herran ohjaaja Peter Jackson reagoi nauramalla nähtyään Serkisin suoritusta ensimmäisen kerran. Kuvausryhmän muut jäsenet halusivat poistaa Serkisin paikalta työtä häiritsemästä.

Klonkun rooli on edelleen Serkisin uran ehkä tunnetuin ja ylistetyin.

"Film is all shot out of order, and my first scene was scene 765 of film 3, and I remember crawling onto the set, and sort of becoming Gollum with my [thin] lycra suit on, and then getting into character. And then Pete Jackson laughing at me. All the crew were kind of going, 'Who is that guy and what the hell is he doing here? Can you get him out of shot because we want to shoot here.' I don't think anybody really knew what I was doing there on the very first day."

"We then shot the scene and that was a very beautiful thing, but it was months of sort of preparation and then standing there. And it did make me laugh when I could see Peter standing in front of me giggling like a child, because here was this character Gollum coming to life, but all it was, was this guy with a shaved head in this very thin suit going, '[Gollum noise].'"
