Composer of the Emmy-winning show Dexter (2006) and hugely popular video games, Silent Hill and Dishonored, one of Daniel Licht's first experiences as a musician resulted in him hanging out with Miles Davis and playing jazz with Don Cherry in New York City. Licht continued to develop as a musician by playing around the world. In Germany, Holland, and Northern Europe he performed and composed music for theatre and dance companies, then Licht went on to Japan and Indonesia where he participated in Gamelan orchestras on the islands of Java and Bali. These travels broadened Licht's definition of music. You may be surprised to know that knives, duct tape, wine glasses, saws, scissors, and even human bones (!) have been used as instruments and recorded at his studio. It was his good friend and colleague, composer Christopher Young, (Spider-Man 3 (2007)), who beckoned Licht west. Once in Hollywood, Licht began collaborating with directors and producers on a variety of projects such as Stephen Kings thriller Thinner (1996), Ben Stiller's drama Permanent Midnight (1998) and the Bradley Cooper comedy Kitchen Confidential (2005).
His irreverent combinations of musical styles soon earned him a reputation as a wholly original composer and he became the favorite of iconoclastic film-makers. He was asked to score The Winner (1996) for Indie icon Alex Cox, while Sundance Film Festival darling Gregg Araki hired him for Splendor (1999) and Oscar-winner Xavier Koller asked Licht to score Cowboy Up (2001). Clive Barker handpicked Licht to score Hellraiser: Bloodline (1996), and ABC selected Licht to compose music for their sleeper hit Body of Proof (2011). NBC requested Licht to score Deception (2013) and contribute additional music for their hit action-thriller The Blacklist (2013).
Most recently Licht completed two seasons for SundanceTV of their dramatic series The Red Road (2014), starring Jason Momoa (Game of Thrones (2011)) and Martin Henderson (The Ring (2002)). He has recently finished the much anticipated video game Dishonored 2 (2016) and the exciting new series Guilt (2016) for ABC Freeform.- Writer

He is noted for bringing Notre Dame Fighting Irish football program from years of futility back into a national contender in 1964 and is widely regarded alongside Knute Rockne and Frank Leahy as a part of the 'Holy Trinity' of Notre Dame head coaches.
Parseghian grew up in Akron, Ohio, and played football beginning in his junior year of high school. He enrolled at the University of Akron, but soon quit to join the U.S. Navy for two years during World War II. After the war, he finished his college career at Miami University in Ohio, and went on to play halfback for the Cleveland Browns of the All-America Football Conference in 1948 and 1949. Cleveland won the league championship both of those years.
Parseghian's playing career was cut short by a hip injury. He left the Browns and took a job as an assistant coach at Miami of Ohio. When head coach Woody Hayes left in 1951 to coach at Ohio State University, Parseghian took over his job. He stayed in that position until 1956, when he was hired as head coach at Northwestern University in Illinois. In eight seasons there, he amassed a win-loss-tie record of 36-35-1 and helped turn a perennial loser into a consistent contender in the national polls. Parseghian's success attracted the interest of Notre Dame, which had not posted a winning record in five straight seasons. He was hired as coach in 1964 and quickly turned the program around, coming close to capturing a national championship in his first year. He proceeded to win two national titles in 11 seasons as coach of the Notre Dame Fighting Irish, a period often referred to as 'the Era of Ara'. He never had a losing season at Notre Dame and posted an overall record of 95-17-4, giving him the third-most wins of any coach in school history after Rockne and Lou Holtz.
Parseghian retired from coaching in 1974 and began a broadcasting career calling college football games for ABC and CBS. He also dedicated himself to medical causes later in life after his daughter was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis and three of his grandchildren died of a rare genetic disease. Parseghian was inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame as a coach in 1980. His career coaching record is 170-58-6. - Ina Holst was born on 8 January 1956 in Hamburg, West Germany.
