Anyone else than me sees the resemblance in the two?

That's not too surprising actually!  I was watching some "making of" videos f Lord of the Rings and they did in fact base the CGI face and mannerisms heavily off the actor.  Had him crouched over and leaping about all grotesque too.  He makes the face and everything.
