"Be magnificent. Life’s short. Get out there. You can do it. Everyone can do it. Everyone."
~ Andy Serkis
One of the greatest actors of our times, Andy Serkis has mesmerized us with his performances in movies such as The Lord of the Rings film trilogy (2001–2003) and The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey (2012), King Kong (2005) Planet of the Apes series (2011-2017), and many others. He truly is one of a kind of actor - specializing in non-human characters - never forget that.
About Andy Serkis' Height
Andy Serkis is not a tall person, that much is evident by just looking at him in his movies (in the movies where he is at least present in person). But rest assured that Mr. Serkis is much taller than the notorious (or notoriously short) Gollum as well.
After looking at Mr. Serkis and comparing him with some of his co-actors like Hugh Jackman (6'2"), Christian Bale (a baleful 6"), and some others, we surmise that Mr. Serkis is somewhere between 5'7" and 5'8".
The real height of Andy Serkis is
5'7'½" or 171 cm
