☼ Born on20 enero 1970, in New York City, New York, USA
Biography:
New Yorker through and through, Michael Rapaport was born on March 20, 1970, in Manhattan, to June Brody, a radio personality, and David Rapaport, a radio program manager. He is of Polish Jewish and Russian Jewish descent.Rapaport moved to Los Angeles to try stand-up comedy following high school graduation (which came after a series of expulsions), but he never lost, forgot or deserted his New York roots. It's embedded in his work and is a major part of his low-keyed charm and ongoing appeal. His early idols were also New Yorkers (Robert De Niro, Christopher Walken, etc.).Within a short amount of time Michael moved from the live comedy stage to working in front of a camera. The two developed an immediate rapport. A guest spot on the TV series Playa de China (1988) led to a starring role

in the quirky interracial indie Zebrahead (1992), which clinched it for him. This, in turn, led to a string of standout parts in films, such as Christian Slater's pal in Amor a quemarropa (1993), an edgy collegiate-turned-skinhead in Semillas de rencor (1995) and a sympathetic none-too-bright boxer in Woody Allen's Poderosa Afrodita (1995), all enabling him to build up a higher profile.In later years, Michael managed to show his ease at offbeat comedy, demonstrating a kid-like, goofy charm as Lisa Kudrow's cop boyfriend for a few episodes on Friends (1994) and as teacher Danny Hanson on Profesores de Boston (2000).He later formed his own production company, Release Entertainment, in search of that one big breakout role that could nab top stardom for him. In later years, his offbeat character leads included an inducted mafioso in Mafioso a la fuerza (1999); a hit man in the action comedy Una buena noche para morir (2003); a comic book fanatic in the sci-fi comedy Especial (2006); a trouble-making buddy in crime drama Inside Out (2011); a man helping out his former gangster neighbor in the dramedy Last I Heard (2013); and a married guy trying to get his mojo back in the comedy My Man Is a Loser (2014). For the most part, however, he served extremely well in support of other prominent stars with weird-to-bizarre featured roles for Woody Allen in his crime comedy Granujas de medio pelo (2000); for Arnold Schwarzenegger in the futuristic actioneer El 6º día (2000); for Will Smith in the romantic /comedy Hitch: Especialista en ligues (2005); for Ray Romano and Kevin James in the comedy crimer Grillados (2006); for Billy Bob Thornton in the action comedy Forajidos de Baytown (2012); for Sandra Bullock and Melissa McCarthy in the crime comedy Cuerpos especiales (2013); and for Tom Hanks in the biopic Sully (2016).Rapaport married writer Nicole Beatty in 2000 and divorced seven years later after having two children. In 2016, he married actress Kebe Dunn.
