Bass replaced Jason Watkins, the former bass singer of the band. Alongside Justin Timberlake, J.C. Chasez, Chris Kirkpatrick and Joey Fatone, Bass soon began his international music career.

The same year, ‘N Sync followed their success with a holiday album titled Home for Christmas. In 1999, Bass and the rest of the band made guest appearances in such series as “Sabrina, the Teenage Witch,” “Clueless” and “Touched by an Angel.”

After moving from BMG Entertainment to Jive Records, ‘N Sync scored an even larger success with their second album, No Strings Attached (2000). The album nabbed a Billboard for Album of the Year and its singles, “Bye, Bye, Bye,” “It’s Gonna Be Me” and “This I Promise You,” won numerous awards including Video Music awards and Teen Choice awards.

Bass then launched his acting career with his appearance as a flight engineer in the silver screen movie Longshot (2000), which was ensued by his guest starring role of Rick Palmer in an episode of the TV series “7th Heaven” (2000).

On the small screen, Bass continued to make guest appearances in an episode of “The New Tom Green Show” (2003), the animated series “Kim Possible” (2004, as the voice of Robby) and the “Higglytown Heroes” (2004, as the voice of Electrician Hero).
