But the highlight of the project was being asked to write, compose, edit, and produce a short film as Dane's "warm up act," to be shown to his audience before taking the stage on his "ISolated INcident Global Theremo Comedy Tour." "What a thrill it was for me to be sitting in Madison Square Garden, watching this movie being presented to 20,000 screaming fans."

His other recent Dane Cook projects include the songs, "Forward," and "I'll Never Be You," on which Craig produced and played guitars, and "Retaliation," which Craig edited and mixed.

"When we were working together on "Retaliation," we had no idea what was to follow. It was just a great hang: Dane, his managers Brian and Barry, and myself, locked up in a room, trying to put together a CD that made us laugh. Looking at where we've come since then I can only say I was blessed to be a part of such a great team!"

"Retaliation" debuted at 4 on the pop charts, which was the first time a comedy album debuted in the top-ten since Steve Martin's, "Wild and Crazy Guy" in 1979.

Craig is probably best known, however, for his musical contribution to film trailers with partner Simone Benyacar. Some of their recent projects in this genre would include, "J.J. Abrams Star Trek," "Sin City," "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire," "Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix," "Spider-man 3," "Call of Duty II," "Halo II" and countless others. "Forest Chase," which can be previewed on the sample "pop-out", is just one example of these collaborations with Simone.

In the film and TV world, Craig has recently been creating music for NBC's, THE OFFICE," as well as the score for the film GHOSTS NEVER SLEEP, a "dark dramedy" starring Faye Dunaway and Tony Goldwyn. Also look out for THE KIDS WHO SAVED SUMMER, a family comedy that features, in addition to Craig's score, four of Craig's songs. The film is presently running on The Disney Channel and Showtime Family.

In the world of multimedia, Craig's music is featured in two just released X-Box / PS2 games. Craig composed the original music for BALDUR'S GATE, THE DARK ALLIANCE II, and his song, A NUCLEAR BLAST, is the main menu theme for the Game FALLOUT, THE BROTHERHOOD OF STEEL.

BALDUR'S GATE marks Craig's thirteenth journey to "Middle Earth" having started composing for the "Dungeons and Dragons" genre for TSR Inc. in the mid '90s. Other scores in this genre include the TV special DRAGONSTRIKE, and the games PLANESCAPE, A GUIDE TO THE OUTLANDS, RAVENLOFT - A LIGHT IN THE BELFRY, and TERROR TRAX (among others). He also contributed music (with partner Simone Benyacar) to the trailer for feature film THE LORD OF THE RINGS, THE RETURN OF THE KING.

Craig has composed for hundreds of network television projects ranging from NBC's THE JEFF FOXWORTHY SHOW to ABC's TOTALLY OUTRAGEOUS. Other television projects presently in production include RUSSIAN ROULETTE (theme and music), a game show for Sony/Columbia Tri-Star that is airing on The Game Show Network, and the music library and original music for the Tollin/Robbins production THE NICK CANNON SHOW airing on the Nickelodeon Network.

Other notable television projects include: LUNATIC THEATER (theme and music), a pilot for the Fox Network, written and produced by Jerry Seinfeld, Barry Marder, Alan Marder & Jim Coane, and IMAGES OF ARIZONA, the latest in the series of Emmy winning documentaries he has scored for Arizona Public Television.

Finally, Craig was part of the composing team (headed by Stephen James Taylor) for Disney's RAW TOONAGE, and the sole composer for the KAET/PBS production VISIONS OF ARIZONA. Both programs received Emmy nominations for outstanding original score.
