Editing David Rappaport (section)

==Early life==
Rappaport was born to [[Jewish]] taxi driver Mark and his wife Diana (née Schneiderman) in London. He was born with [[achondroplasia]],{{citation needed|date=May 2021}} a common form of [[dwarfism]]. As a child, he developed talents in playing the [[accordion]] and drums, the latter of which he played professionally during his life.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://home.hetnet.nl/~motinni/biographical/bio-index.html |title=David Rappaport Pages – biographical |access-date=7 February 2009}}</ref> Rappaport studied [[psychology]] at the [[University of Bristol]] from 1970, graduating with a degree while developing his skills as a semi-professional drummer, and acting skills at the college dramatical society.

After six months in the United States, he returned to the United Kingdom to marry his college girlfriend Jane. They had a son, Joe, and Rappaport tried to settle down to family life as a teacher. But, as his marriage broke down and he decided to follow a career as an actor, he became a resident of the squatter "nation" of [[Frestonia]], acting as [[Foreign Minister]] under the name '''David Rappaport-Bramley''' – all inhabitants adopted the surname Bramley, so that, if the [[Greater London Council]] were to succeed in an eviction, they would have to rehouse them as one family.
