The singer appeared in seasons 4 through 7 of ‘Gilmore Girls’ as the guitarist who took over Adam Brody’s role of Dave Rygalski in the band Hep Alien. He also returned for the 2016 revival, ‘Gilmore Girls: A Year In The Life.’
When asked about his acting experience and if he enjoyed it, Bach responded:
“I really enjoyed it. It’s an hour-long show, and there’s a lot of dialogue. And the director would always say, ‘Okay. Do it one time as fast as you can.’ So I’d be like an auctioneer [speaking really fast]. And then one time my agent calls, he goes, ‘Sebastian, the show ‘Law & Order’ wants you to be a DJ, like a drug dealer or something. I go, ‘Law & Order’. That’s my dad’s favorite show. And so I went to audition for ‘Law & Order’ and I did my lines as fast as I could because [of my ‘Gilmore Girls’ experience]. And the guy goes, ‘Dude, slow down.’ I go, ‘Oh, Jeez. Well, I’m on the show the ‘Gilmore Girls.'”
He also revealed his latest TV appearance and his next one:
“So I love the ‘Gilmore Girls’. And now it’s on Netflix, and I’m on the new one on Netflix, ‘A Year In The Life’. And my next TV appearance, I’m gonna be on a show on Food Network called the ‘Worst Cooks In America.'”
Even with a successful music career, Bach is still known for his roles in several movies and TV series. But apparently, there is a certain reason the singer accepts the acting offers. He explained during another interview with Ultimate Classic Rock in 2016:
“Honestly, the way I look at [my appearances on] television is to promote my music. I know that’s silly, but, to me, the albums last forever, more than any TV show. MTV doesn’t play rock videos, but if I’m on ‘Gilmore Girls’, it’s like, ‘Who is this dude? I’m going to check out his albums.'”
“I get noticed for different things in different parts of town. If I go to [famous Los Angeles rock club] the Rainbow, it’s Skid Row. If I go to a mall, it’s ‘Gilmore Girls’. If I walk around in the country of Canada, there is one thing that they like about me and that’s ‘Trailer Park Boys.’ Everywhere I go! I just consider myself lucky that I can do different things.”
