Besides his extensive work in film and television, Hans Zimmer has played with and produced a variety of pop acts, including Joe Strummer, the Damned and Whitney Houston.(The space between punk pioneers the Damned and former pop princess Whitney Houston underscores the breadth of Zimmer's talents.) The German transplant has earned Academy Award nominations for his scores to such pictures as Rain Man, As Good As It Gets, Gladiator, The Prince of Egypt and The Thin Red Line; he won for the score to The Lion King.
