Community's Cast - Where Are They Now?
15. Ludwig Goransson
Ludwig Goransson isn’t a name you’d typically associate with Community. He was the show’s composer, which while important to a show’s overall tone, isn’t a position which leads itself to celebrity status or intrigue too much. With Goransson though, his trajectory has been so spectacular it has to be noted.
Goransson has won an Oscar and several Grammys since his time on Community, becoming a major name in the world of on screen composers.
The Oscar was for Black Panther, with Goransson one of many Community alumni to find a home in the MCU. Goransson has also won praise for his composing work on Venom, both Creed movies and TV show Atlanta.
It’s this last one which is perhaps most interesting, as former Community star Donald Glover (Troy Barnes) is the showrunner and star of Atlanta, and this is where Goransson’s Grammys come into it.
Glover is better known these days Childish Gambino, and his post Community career will be explored in depth soon. For now though, it’ll suffice to say Goransson has been Gambino’s long time producer, and is credited on multiple songs; most notably recent hit This Is America.
