John Debney: Difference between revisions

'''John Debney''' (born [[18 August]] [[1956]]) composed the [[incidental music]] and the [[theme arrangement]] for ''[[Doctor Who (1996)|Doctor Who]]'' in [[1996]].  Although several people, including him, won [[Emmy Award]]s ''after'' having worked on ''Doctor Who'', he's one of the very few people to have two Emmies before starting work on ''Doctor Who''.  By [[1996]], he had already won for the theme music to ''[[wikipedia:SeaQuest 2032|SeaQuest 2032]]'', and for the score to ''[[wikipedia:The Young Riders|The Young Riders]]''.  Immediately after ''Doctor Who'', he won again — this time with his ''Doctor Who'' partner [[Louis Febre]] — for ''[[wikipedia:The Cape (1996 TV series)|The Cape]]''.   

His credit list is extremely lengthy, as he is a much in-demand composer.  However, his most noted scores include: ''[[wikipedia:The Emperor's New Groove|The Emperor's New Groove]]'', ''[[wikipedia:The Passion of the Christ|The Passion of the Christ]]'' (which garnered him an Oscar nod), ''[[wikipedia:The Ant Bully|The Ant Bully]]'', ''[[wikipedia:Liar Liar|Liar Liar]]'', ''[[wikipedia:I Know What You Did Last Summer|I Know What You Did Last Summer]]'', ''[[wikipedia:Inspector Gadget (film)|Inspector Gadget]]'', ''[[wikipedia:Spy Kids|Spy Kids]]'', ''[[wikipedia:The Princess Diaries|The Princess Diaries]]'', ''[[wikipedia:Cats & Dogs|Cats & Dogs]]'', ''[[wikipedia:The Scorpion King|The Scorpion King]]'', ''[[wikipedia:Bruce Almighty|Bruce Almighty]]'', ''[[wikipedia:Elf (film)|Elf]]'', ''[[wikipedia:Snow Dogs|Snow Dogs]]'' and ''[[wikipedia:Sin City (film)|Sin City]]''.
