Amiga artists become relevant in mainstream industry

I was reading latest issue of "Il Mucchio Selvaggio" (The wild bunch), an Italian printed magazine, and found this quote:
Quote:
When I finished my second videogame, the Amiga was no more. From there I understood that you have not to tie to only one technology: sooner or later it'll disappear. Better to invest on studying human perception.
The quote was from Marco Genovesi who was head of matte painting for Ridley Scott's Prometheus (and many other films, I then discovered).
The videogame he referred to is Black Viper, and the other Amiga game he worked on is Natahan Never: The Arcade Game.
Leaving out the usual famous suspects, do you know of any other Amiga artists (coder, graphician, musician, whatever) which became relevant in some mainstream industry?
