Andy Serkis, the actor who played the creepy creature Gollum in The Lord of the Rings film franchise, will be returning to the screen tomorrow. Not the big screen, of course, but your computer. Serkis will read all of “The Hobbit” by JRR Tolkien non-stop in a livestream. He’ll be raising money for charity.
