However, it was the world of TV that provided the composer with his best opportunities, writing sterling music for ''Hawkeye'', ''Series/TheOuterLimits1995'', ''Series/{{Witchblade}}'', ''Series/DiagnosisMurder'', ''Series/TheUntouchables'' and in particular the TV epic ''Film/HelenOfTroy''. But his most acclaimed work was for the TV spin-off from ''[[Franchise/StargateVerse Stargate]]''; ''Series/StargateSG1'' which proved a massive hit and featured some powerful scores. ''Series/StargateAtlantis'' followed and allowed the composer to turn in one of TV's finest themes and gain Goldsmith a well deserved Emmy nomination. Another ''Stargate'' spin off featured exciting scores from Goldsmith - ''Series/StargateUniverse''. His association with ''Stargate'' did not end there, with two feature length stories; ''Film/StargateContinuum'' and ''Film/TheArkOfTruth''.

* CreatorBacklash: For the pilot episode of ''Series/StargateSG1'' the producers combined the original score Goldsmith wrote with David Arnold's score for the movie; both composers disowned the subsequent soundtrack album which replicated the blending.

Goldsmith collaborated with his father for the short lived TV series ''HELP'' and ''Hollister'' as episode composer while Music/JerryGoldsmith composed the themes. Goldsmith collaborated proper with his father in 1996 on ''Film/StarTrekFirstContact'' and provided around 20 minutes of additional music while Jerry Goldsmith was busy in London completing his assignment for ''Film/TheGhostAndTheDarkness''. Goldsmith was to have worked with his father again on ''Film/AirForceOne'', but another assignment prevented it happening and Jerry Goldsmith went on to work with Joel [=McNeely=].

Goldsmith composed his first symphonic score for another lower budget Sci-Fi thriller called ''Moon 44'', and was an early score to reveal the obvious influences of his father. ''Moon 44'' seemed at one point to be a one off but latter assignments followed in the form of ''Film/MansBestFriend'', ''Film/KullTheConqueror'', ''Film/ShadowOfADoubt'', ''Comicbook/{{Vampirella}}'', ''Literature/{{Shiloh}}'' and ''Diamonds'', all of which helped reinforce Goldsmith's standing within the crowded composer market place. Additionally Goldsmith scored a number of TV movies to great affect, ''Inferno'' and ''Shadow Of A Doubt'' are worthy of note. Goldsmith's last film assignment was a Zombie thriller ''War Of The Dead'' in 2010. Goldsmith also worked on impressive music scores for a number for video games, providing powerful military scores for ''[[VideoGame/CallOfDuty Call Of Duty 3]]'', ''Corpse Killer'' and Creator/TomClancy's ''SSN''.

His career in film and television began as a boom man on low-budget features and then as a sound mixer. In 1978 he worked on the low budget Sci-Fi movie ''Laser Blast'' and collaborated with composer Richard Band. Goldsmith worked with Band again as a Sound Mixer this time on another lower budget feature titled ''The Day Time Ended''. His first solo scoring assignment came in 1981, with ''Olivia'' for German director Ulli Lommel. This early score was succeeded by numerous TV assignments before finally being handed a major assignment in the guise of the cult Steve Martin comedy ''Film/TheManWithTwoBrains'', with Goldsmith providing a manic and fun score. These early scores were essentially synthesiser only and his expertise in this field was utilised by his father during the 70s and 80s. Most notably in 1984 for Jerry Goldsmith's first completely electronic score - Creator/MichaelCrichton's futuristic thriller ''Film/{{Runaway}}''. The time, effort and budget on this project was said to have out weighed that of a symphonic score.

However, it was the world of TV that provided the composer with his best opportunities, writing sterling music for ''Hawkeye'', ''Series/TheOuterLimits'', ''Series/{{Witchblade}}'', ''Series/DiagnosisMurder'', ''Series/TheUntouchables'' and in particular the TV epic ''Film/HelenOfTroy''.
