"10. Gollum
Played by Andy Serkis in the Lord of the Rings trilogy (2001-2003, dir. Peter Jackson)...We loved him on the page: The slithering, tragicomical Gollum is one of the great creations of fantasy novelist J.R.R. Tolkien. But to launch this erstwhile hobbit, who has been corrupted by the evil ring, out of our imaginations and onto the big screen required a leap forward in film technology. And behold: the first truly realistic computer-generated creature with a character arc. Much credit goes to Serkis, whose reptilian body movements and hilariously pathetic voice infused the miserable miscreant with lifebut props also to Jackson and his computer whizzes, who made us eager to watch Gollums every move and gasp at his deathly dance, which, finally, decides the fate of Middle-earth.

Defining Moment: When we first see Gollum in all his twisted, tortured glory, in 2002s The Two Towers, he is wrestling with himself over whether to betray the hobbits. Its a bipolar disorder of epic (and Oscar-worthy) proportions. (New Line DVD)"  [link]
