1953 Danny Elfman - Singer with the group Oingo Boingo and composer of soundtracks (Batman movies, Beetlejuice, The Simpsons, Edward Scissorhands, Men in Black, Desperate Housewives, Corpse Bride, Sledge Hammer!)

I watched the movie Hannibal last week and noticed he did the soundtrack for it. How do you go from Oingo Boingo to doing major motion picture soundtracks?
