Michael Rapaport: Biography

Michael David Rapaport was born on the 20th of March, 1970 in New York City. His father, David Rapaport was a radio executive while his mother, June Brody was a radio personality in New York. His father was also the general manager at a New York radio station.

He has an older sister, Claudia Lonow, who is also in the entertainment industry; she is an actress, comedian and television producer. He also has a brother named Eric. When his parents got divorced, his mother married Mark Lonow, a comedian and co-owner of ‘The Improv’, a comedy club franchise.

Michael grew up on Manhattan’s Upper East Side with his family. He is of Italian, Russian and Polish heritage. He is also of Ashkenazi Jewish descent.

While in high school, you can say Michael was not always on his best behaviour – he even got expelled from the Erasmus Hall High School. He later returned to school and graduated from New York’s Martin Luther King High School.

Girlfriend: Lili Taylor

One of Michael Rapaport’s most high profile relationships was his relationship with Lili Taylor. Their relationship drew a lot of attention because of the drama surrounding it. Everyone knows relationships are complicated but when the police get involved, perhaps it has become ‘too complicated’.

In 1997, Michael was arrested for harassing Lili and he was then charged with two counts of aggravated assault. He pleaded guilty to the charges but he was only issued an order to stay away from Lili and he was mandated to go for therapy. Despite the severity of the charges, he got no jail time for them.

Lili Taylor is an American actress best known for roles in Mystic Pizza, Dogfight, I Shot Andy Warhol, Say Anything…, Short Cuts, Maze Runner, The Scorch Trials, The Haunting, The Conjuring and Ransom. Lili also appeared in Almost Human, Hemlock Grove, Six Feet Under and American Crime (for which she received a Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Limited Series or Movie nomination). It is safe to say that since her break up with Michael, Lily has gone on to do bigger and better things, making a name for herself in the entertainment industry.
