Dark Horizons had the good fortune of securing a bit of time with David Wenham (Faramir) and ask him some questions about his experience working on LOTR.  Here's an excerpt:

Question: What's it like working with a CGI character?

David Wenham as Faramir in The Two TowersAnswer: "The fact is I didn't. Everything that you saw in the character of Gollum was created by Andy Serkis, everything.

Every movement of that character is Andy Serkis.
