Composer Christophe Beck is to work on Cheaper by the Dozen, Saved, Dickie Roberts: Former Child Star in the near future, after recent successes with scores for hit films The Tuxedo and Just Married.

He has scored numerous films including Bring It On for Universal Pictures starring Kirsten Dunst, Guinevere starring Stephen Rea and Sarah Polley, directed by Audrey Wells, New Line Cinema's comedy Dog Park, starring Luke Wilson, Natasha Henstridge and Jeneane Gorofalo, directed by Bruce McCulloch, the dark comedy The Alarmist, starring Stanley Tucci, David Arquette and Kate Capshaw, for Bandeira Entertainment, and October Films' Thick As Thieves, starring Alex Baldwin, Rebecca de Mornay and Andre Braugher.

Chris' television work is highlighted by Buffy The Vampire Slayer, for which he received the Emmy Award for Outstanding Music Composition for a Series. He has composed the themes and scores for numerous other television series, as well as several television movies.

The road to film scoring was a circuitous one for Chris. He spent his adolescence playing bad 80's music in variety of bands. Once in college, Chris briefly flirted with the idea of a professional saxophone playing career, but when he realized how much practicing was involved he readily gave it up in favor of his new dream: writing the next big Broadway musical. He composed 2 full-length musicals with his brother Jason (currently a techno/hip-hop recording artist and producer living in Berlin), as well as an opera based on The Tell-Tale Heart by Edgar Allen Poe.

Upon graduation, he defected to Los Angeles, (much to the chagrin of his fellow Canadians), in order to spend a year at USC's scoring program, where he studied with Jerry Goldsmith.

Chris was immediately attracted to the creative challenges unique to the marriage of music and picture. The opportunities not only for artistic expression but also for exposure to large numbers of people were irresistible to Chris (not to mention simply unavailable in a career composing operas). Chris found his niche.
