Artist:Joe Anderson
Song:With A Little Help from My Friends
Album:Across the Universe: Music from the Motion Picture: Deluxe Edition
Julie Taymor's 2007 film Across the Universe takes The Beatles music and puts in the context of a story about young people. The actors do their own singing. Jim Sturgess is the star of the film but Joe Anderson does his own singing as well. There is a little wrinkle about this that I will get to in a minute. Anderson was born Mar. 26, 1982 in England. His father is actor Miles Anderson and his mother is a talent agent. Anderson has been performing since he was a child. He moved to London to attend school and he started appearing on stage His first big film role was in the as Ludwig von Beethoven in the 2006 film Copying Beethoven and then he got the role in Across the Universe. He performs several songs in the film including With A Little Help from My Friends. There are two versions of the soundtrack CD. Anderson's performances are only on the 2CD Deluxe Edition. That's the wrinkle I was talking about. Only one of his performances appears on the single CD version. Anderson also appeared as Jane Austen's older brother in Becoming Jane. And he played bassist Peter Hook in the Joy Division biopic Control. He also appeared in The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Part 2, Hercules and Backdraft. And he was a regular on the WGN America TV series Outsiders. Here's Joe Anderson performing With A Little Help from My Friends in the film Across the Universe.
