He first acted in Vienna, and he was a producer and director for the German film production company U. F.

He was married to the actress and singer Grete Freund and was the father of Peter Basch. Richard Tauber was a second cousin of his .[2] According to U.S. immigration entry records, he gained his American citizenship through his father.

Basch died May 18, 1944, at Cedars of Lebanon Hospital in Hollywood, California, after several major operations.[1]
