Gollum ResultsAbout Gollum Gollum Fact: Andy Serkis says that his decision on how to perform Gollum's voice in the movies was inspired by watching his cats: "I looked at what happens to them when they have furballs and the way their whole body convulses when they're coughing them up. I took my inspiration for Gollum's voice from that."
