Teddy Castellucci

TEDDY CASTELLUCCI is best known for Adam Sandler's breakout films "The Wedding Singer" and "Big Daddy," continuing his run with the "Saturday Night Live" alum on many films, including "Deuce Bigalow: Male Gigolo," "Little Nicky," "The Animal," "8 Crazy Nights," "Mr. Deeds," "Anger Management" and "50 First Dates." Castellucci also lent his composing skills to "My Boss' Daughter," "Are We Done Yet?" "White Chicks," "The Longest Yard," "My Super Ex-Girlfriend," "Wild Hogs" and "The Longshots."

While best known for his comedic talents, Castellucci also provided the touching score to the emotionally charged "American Violet" in 2008, a film about a single African-American mother struggling to clear her name after being wrongly accused and arrested for dealing drugs in an impoverished town in Texas.

Before delving into film music, Castellucci began playing sessions as a guitarist in New York at the age of 15 and performed on "The Merv Griffin Show" with Dizzie Gillespie at 17. At age 25, Castellucci became the youngest musical director in network television history when he came onboard the ABC late night show "Into the Night," with Rick Dees.

At age 21, he became a session player for motion picture scoring, and his performing talents have since been heard in such films as "Some Kind of Wonderful," "Natural Born Killers," "Dying Young" and "The Color of Night." He has recorded and/or performed with such diverse artists as Michael Jackson, Dave Mathews, Boz Scaggs, Jackson Browne, Brian Wilson, Smokey Robinson, Natalie Cole and Wynton Marsalis.
