More Silas! | ||||
| Patrick (Emanuel) Bach was born 30/03/68 in Hamburg. To a whole generation of Germans he means... Christmas! Because for the Christmases of 1981, 1982 and 1988 he was the star of mini-TV-series aired during the holidays. Silas, Jack Holborn and Anna. Having a TV assistant director for a mother brought Patrick in the business at 3 - and even in a Rudi Carell show before the big time started. It really started with a football match. Which a TV-producer visited Patrick’s home to watch. A TV-producer who was looking for a boy to play Silas in a 6 part series after Danish (female) author, Cecil Bødker’s book. He looked no further! Although it was a big hit and everybody in the German speaking world plus Denmark fell madly in love with him - he announced, in Bravo, that it was the last time he ever had been in front of a rolling camera! So when the offer for Jack Holborn soon after came up - he first said NO! BUT... being a Hamburg native that old pirate ship was a little bit too interesting and as it was going to be shot during the summer holidays... he was lured into doing it anyway... Which he KIND OF regretted: - I was seasick all the time and had blue marks all over my body... And in the scenes where he so elegantly swims - himself! - under water with his pants kind of swimming AFTER him - he was sick as a dog from food poisoning after a native dinner... But WE loved him even more looking so cute and sound with a suntan this time!!! It took 6 years, before he returned to the spotlight - to kind of stay! |
