Producer Aaron Spelling has stated that Green was cast in the role of David Silver much because he felt that Green's own personality reflected the personality they wanted that character to have. As such the character was often scripted to reflect Green's own interests. As the series progressed the David Silver character began to experement with rap music and turntable spinning, as did Green himself.

In 1996 Green dropped "Austin" from his professional name and attempted to begin a career as a legitimate rapper. He released a rap and hip-hop album entitled One Stop Carnival. The record was a miserable failure both critically and commercially, with one critic referring to Green as "the poor man's Vanilla Ice."
