In 2011, he opened Actors Comedy Studio with Lauren Marie Bertoni. The studio was created as a counterpoint to the improv and sketch comedy programs that have proliferated in Hollywood. ACS focuses on acting for sitcoms and on-camera audition technique.
Rohrbacher designed and taught the "Acting for Animators" program for Disney Animation Studios. He was a character consultant on two of Disney's feature films; Meet the Robinsons and Bolt. He consulted for Klasky Csupo Animation Studios. He also wrote animation for Dreamworks and Sony Animation’s Mega Babies.
As an actor, Gunnar starred in two pilots for NBC: Prime Time Comedy, produced by George Schlatter, and the semi-improvised sitcom The Weekend. He also appeared in Boutonniere, starring Zachary Quinto and Wendy McLendon-Covey. Boutonniere was the 2009 24FPS International Short Film Festival Silver Medal winner.
