Accomplishing a rare feat of excellence in two distinct filmmaking disciplines, John Ottman has drawn raves and awards for his clever film editing, all the while remaining one of the most sought-after music composers in Hollywood. His collaboration with acclaimed director, Bryan Singer, on such films as "The Usual Suspects" (1995), "X2: X-Men United" (2003) and "Superman Returns" (2006) helped put this creative force on the Hollywood map.
