Gary Hecker

One of the most accomplished Foley artists in Hollywood, Gary Hecker has contributed to more than 200 films in a career spanning almost three decades. His recent credits include 2012, The Taking of Pelham 1 2 3, Angel & Demons, Watchmen and the Spiderman trilogy. Hecker became enamored with Foley while still in high school and has worked in the field his entire career. He is the recipient of three Golden Reel Awards, most recently in 2006 for War of the Worlds, to go with more than 20 Golden Reel nominations. He has also contributed to several films that have garnered Academy Awards or Academy Award nominations for sound, including Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World, War of the Worlds, Road to Perdition and Memoirs of a Geisha. In 1998, Entertainment Weekly named Hecker to its list of the “100 Most Creative People in Entertainment.” Hecker is also well known for creating special voices for films. He helped create the “voice” of Godzilla for the 1998 remake of the film of that name, and did voice work for the aliens featured in the 1996 film Independence Day. He also supplied vocal elements for Seabiscuit, 300, Shrek and Mighty Joe Young.
