 A Man for All Seasons

 

He directed 89 films, and composed music for more than 50 films.  -- adapted from Wikipedia


Victor Scherzinger met his goals

By taking on divergent roles.

He directed fifty films or more,

And very often wrote the score.

 

How rare it is, and unsuspected,

That someone both composed and directed;

And how does one who has such talents

Keep artistic life in balance.
