His filmography includes notable scores for Mimic, The Faculty, Resident Evil, Blade II, Hellboy, I, Robot, Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines, Live Free or Die Hard, World War Z, Snowpiercer, 3:10 to Yuma, Logan, and A Quiet Place.His contributions to film music have garnered significant accolades, including two Academy Award nominations for Best Original Score for 3:10 to Yuma (2007) and The Hurt Locker (2008), and a Golden Globe nomination for A Quiet Place (2018).
