* EvilSoundsDeep: Not surprising, considering he's voiced by Benedict Cumberbatch. He purposefully lowered his voice as much as he could, so that he ended up having to drink the same "Gollum Juice" that Andy Serkis drank for voicing Gollum, and they then digitally lowered his voice afterwards.

* DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything: The relationship between Smeagol and Gollum resembles several real-life psychological scenarios:
**
Gollum's obsession with the Ring is reminiscent of methamphetamine addiction. It turns his body thin and haggard, destroys his identity and willpower, drives him to kill in order to possess it, and generally consumes his life.life.
** Gollum, as an EnemyWithin born from guilt, is a SplitPersonality and acts like depression, anxiety and self-hatred do for many people.
** Many elements of the Smeagol/Gollum dialogue resemble a real-life abusive relationship: one side is constantly goaded into crime by the other one who appears loving, comforting and guiding. When the meek Smeagol tries to break free, Gollum switches to threatening and reminding Smeagol that Gollum is the reason they survive. Smeagol banishes Gollum and can barely believe it, but comes back crying at the first sign of betrayal and this is just what Gollum is waiting for to welcome him back into the fold.
** And of course, Smeagol "loves and hates the Ring as he loves and hates himself", which sounds awfully like Stockholm syndrome.

* AttentionWhore: Quite a few shades of this, which makes him easy to stall. Bilbo exploits this by heaping him with flattery and overblown titles (and makes up some for himself, to satisfy Smaug's curiosity), which both saves his life and gives Thorin and the rest of the company time to get over their fear of the dragon and come up with a plan to kill Smaug.

He makes it clear that he ''knows'' Bilbo is only trying to butter him up to stall for time, yet goes along with it because he enjoys the praise anyway... for a while, at least.
