Business Insider brought it up to Andy Serkis on Tuesday while he was doing press for his directorial debut, "Breathe" (opening in theaters on Friday). The actor's claim to stardom was playing Gollum in the "Lord of the Rings" movies, a franchise that Weinstein was an executive producer on.
"I think there's no excuse for a culture that allows for any kind of bullying or coercion or predatory behavior, and I think we are behoove not just in this industry, but across all industries, to be vocal about that and to encourage and help and support people who are brave enough to come out," Serkis said. "We have to challenge people who are in positions of authority if they behave badly."
On Sunday, Weinstein was fired from running The Weinstein Company. When Business Insider asked Serkis if he would ever consider working with Weinstein in the future if he amazingly got back into the business, Serkis said he wouldn't.
