German-born composer Hans Zimmer got his start in the world of pop music as a member of The Buggles, whose hit "Video Killed the Radio Star" was the first music video to be aired on MTV. He's gone on to write over one hundred film scores and earned an Academy Award for Best Original Score, a Golden Globe, an American Music Award, a Tony and two Grammy Awards for the "The Lion King." Today he talks about scoring two of this year's blockbuster films, "The DaVinci Code" and "Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest."
