Canadian Christophe Beck studied under the brilliant Jerry Goldsmith. His first major assignment was for Joss Whedon's classic TV series Buffy the Vampire Slayer; while Beck did not compose all the music for every episode, he was the primary composer for seasons 2, 3, and 4. In film, Beck has mainly composed for frivolous comedies such as Cheaper by the Dozen, Garfield, A Cinderella Story, Ice Princess, The Pink Panther remake, Fred Claus, Tower Heist, This Means War, Movie 43, and RIPD. Foremost among his comedy assignments in terms of popularity is The Hangover trilogy. However, Beck has also branched out with scores like Elektra, the first Percy Jackson film, and RED. Recently, he has scored a few prestigious Disney films: The Muppets, the animated short Paperman, Ant-Man, and Frozen. For this last film, Beck delivered a solid score and worked on the arrangements of the songs composed by Kristen Anderson-Lopez and Robert Lopez (2011's Winnie the Pooh, The Book of Mormon, and the Finding Nemo musical at Walt Disney World's Animal Kingdom). Especially enchanting in Frozen's score is Beck's arrangement of the song "Vuelie," which plays under the film's opening studio logos and title.
