John Rabe(IV)
- Actor
John Rabe is best known as a public radio journalist in Los Angeles, where he was the award-winning host of the long-running Off-Ramp program on KPCC, and host and producer of the 40-part series Notes from the Fires on Classical California, which won the Golden Mike for best series.
His most recent major motion picture is "Michael," in which he plays the reporter who asks Michael Jackson, "Michael, how old are you?" Which gives the young performer an opportunity to claim he is eight years old and burnish his image.
He was also the first scene shot - and probably the first scene cut - in Quentin Tarantino’s "Once Upon a Time ... in Hollywood." You can see him in a Red Apple cigarette ad in the DVD extras.
He is NOT the subject of Florian Gallenberger's "John Rabe" (2009), about the Oskar Schindler of China. Nor did he play the final journalist to interview David Foster Wallace in "The End of the Tour" (2015) despite the fact that it was the role that he was - literally - born to play.
Rabe was born in Detroit and raised in The Soo. He is married to Los Angeles gallerist Julian Bermudez.
