Andy Serkis had to play King Kong twice for Peter Jackson's King Kong (2005). First, he had to play the giant ape alongside Naomi Watts (Ann Darrow) in a rough-and-ready gorilla costume, so his co-star could react. After principal photography was finished, he had to perform again, this time in a motion capture suit. Andy, fantastic double performance!
