Thanks to Andrew Scott, “Sherlock” was so good and interesting. It was he who gave the series that “something”, his deceptively kind smile and innocent face intensified the twinge of fear that accompanied the viewer when Moriarty appeared on the set.
Irish actor Andrew Serkis was born on October 21, 1976. From an early age he had a talent for acting. He performed in a children’s theater, then a youth theater. He made his film debut at the age of seventeen. He also played in the theater. To expand his career, he moved to London.
He acted in television films and in theater, where he was very successful, incl. was honored with the Laurence Olivier Award for his performance in A Girl in a Car with a Man. He also played Paul McCartney in the movie Lennon: The Naked Truth (2010). That same year, he began playing Jim Moriarty on the TV series Sherlock. He did it so well that he received BAFTA and IFTA Film & Drama Awards for this role.
He also played the role of Max Denbigh in another Bond, entitled Specter . The film’s director, Sam Mendes, even revealed that Andrew Scott’s character was close to becoming the main villain (instead of Franz Oberhauser, played by Christopher Waltz).
In Alice Through the Mirror, he was Dr. Addison Bennett. He has participated in projects such as the British satirical science fiction series Black Mirror, and the Big Six as the voice of Obake. In the series appreciated by viewers, Fleabag played a priest.
Finally, so that you can get to know our jubilarian today, the usual quote:
I find any kind of acting that doesn’t have humor to be dullly boring. “Serious acting” is the kind of acting I never respond to.
In Sherlock, his wit and mesmerizing charm were clearly visible, which may be why his Moriarty is so engaging.
I wish Andrew more of these roles, right?
