Biography |
Lance Bass is the bass singer for the American pop group *NSYNC.
He began his musical career in the seventh grade in the
school chorus. He later joined Mississippi Show Stoppers, a
state-wide group sponsored by the Mississippi Agriculture
and Forestry Museum. He joined Mickey Mouse Club alumni JC
Chasez and Justin Timberlake in *NSYNC, a boy band turned
overnight sensation. Lance is considered the 'quiet one' of
the group.
Bass starred in the 2001 motion picture On the Line, which
grossed only $4.3 million at the US domestic box office, but
had a production budget of $16 million. The film was
produced by Bacon & Eggs LLC (formerly A Happy Place), a
company owned by Bass, which is currently producing a new
film entitled Lovewrecked.
In addition, Bass formed a music management company called
Free Lance Entertainment, which is now defunct. The only
album released through Free Lance was Reach by Meredith
Edwards.
In August of 2002, Bass entered cosmonaut training at Star
City in Russia. He was scheduled to fly into space on the
Russian Soyuz spacecraft in October of that year with the
mission Soyuz TMA-1. However, his sponsorship funds failed
to materialize. He still hopes to fly in the future.
In 2003, Bass criticized American Idol for being too
"cheesy" and too commercial.
In October of 2004 during World Space Week, Bass was
formally inducted as a member of the National Space
Society's Board of Governors. Serving in an advisory and
public outreach capacity, Bass has joined astronauts and
prominent individuals who have made a lasting, positive
impact on human space exploration, including actor Tom
Hanks, journalist Hugh Downs and futurist Sir Arthur C.
Clarke, among many others.
Bass was also featured as a voice actor for the video game
Kingdom Hearts, voicing Sephiroth, which received negative
reactions from fans. Other voice acting guest spots by Bass
include Higglytown Heroes, Kim Possible, and Robot Chicken. |
