When Mr. Jack mentioned that he shared a birthday with Lalo Schifrin I thought THAT is cool. I share my birthday with CHARLES BUKOWSKI, FESS PARKER and MADONNA but no composer I am aware of. I wondered how many are lucky enough to share theirs with major composers?
I'm not sure if I share a birthday with a composer (or two) on my actual birthday, which is September 5th. However, I think a couple of composers share the same month.
Yes, the late Joel Goldsmith (November 19th) -- which makes it a bit embarassing to admit that I don't own a single soundtrack of his, except some odd themes on various compilations. I dig his score for STARGATE: UNIVERSE, though, so I should really get that.
I also share a birthday with Jodie Foster, for what it's worth.
Yes I share a birthday with a film composer, it is David Arnold. However my mom tops it with not one but two composers: Trevor Jones and Michael Nyman.
Well, not to get into the whole rabid pro and against on him, but ironically I share a birthday (September 12th) with the one composer I typically rant against more often than not...Mr. Zimmer.
