Michael Rapaport is known for appearing in over 60 movies

Born Mar. 20, 1970, in New York City, Michael David Rapaport, inspired by his stepfather, who co-owned comedy club franchise The Improv, got into stand-up at the age of 19.

After trying to make it as a comedian for three years, he made his acting debut in the ABC drama television series China Beach. After a few guest appearances in other shows and movies, including Poetic Justice (1993), he landed considerable roles in Quentin Tarantino’s True Romance (1993) and John Singleton’s Higher Learning (1995).

He continued appearing in various films before getting his first recurring role in the Fox drama series, Boston Public (2001-04) as Danny Hanson. Shortly after, he joined the main cast of the sitcom The War at Home (2005-07), and My Name is Earl (2007-08).

Rapaport hasn’t taken an eye off his film career as he’s appeared in at least one movie every year from 1992-2016.

He is currently married to Kebe Dunn

In the late 1990s, the Metro star began dating Emmy-nominated actor Lili Taylor. However, their breakup didn’t end well, and Rapaport harassed his ex by repeatedly calling her and showing up at her house, resulting in Taylor turning to the police.

Rapaport pled guilty to aggravated harassment and ordered to attend counseling twice a month for a year. He then met The Walking Dead writer Nichole Beattie and the two married in 2000.

Shortly after welcoming two sons into the world, Julian Ali (21) and Maceo Shane (19), she filed for divorce, citing irreconcilable differences. They two have shared custody since separating.

Following the split, Rapaport rekindled a short-lived romance with 90s sweetheart actor Kebe Dunn. The couple dated for several years before tying the knot in 2016. They are still together.

What is Rapaport’s net worth?

In addition to acting, the 51-year-old has directed projects such as the award-winning 2011 documentary Beats, Rhymes & Life: The Travels of a Tribe Called Quest and an ESPN 30 for 30 premiered at the Tribeca Film Festival.

He also makes several guest appearances on Sirius’ Howard Stern Show, in numerous video games, including Grand Theft Auto IIISaints Row, and NBA 2K19, and hosts the I Am Rapaport Stereo Podcast alongside a childhood friend.
