His main body of work is with special effects in a wide variety of films from science fiction to horror, to comedy and theater. Rappaport has created hyper-realistic animatronic animals including the horse used by Tom Cruise in ''The Last Samurai'' and memorable prosthetic makeup effects for ''300'' and ''I Am Legend''. His company, Creature Effects, Inc.is at the leading edge of the Hollywood creature and makeup effects industry.
Mr. Rappaport was born in Yokohama, Japan. At the age of three Mark’s family moved to the Napa Valley in northern California. Mark graduated high school in Napa and attended San Diego State University where he earned a Bachelor of Science Degree. Upon graduation Mark returned to Northern California and worked in law enforcement before meeting and working with Bob Hartman, a San Francisco puppeteer and street performer. Mark’s work with Bob sparked an interest in creating effects for the entertainment industry and he pursued employment at Industrial Light & Magic. At ILM he worked on feature film projects, including ''Innerspace'' and ''Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home''. From ILM Mark went to work with Chris Walas and created effects for films including ''The Fly II'' and ''Child's Play''.
==''The Last Samurai''==
The production of ''The Last Samurai'' required an animatronic horse capable of performing stunt sequences that would put a real horse and rider at risk of great injury. Rappaport was commissioned to build a horse that could seamlessly replace Tom Cruise' real horse for those scenes. Mark says "It's probably the most sophisticated horse or animatronic creature ever made for film. It cost $1.5 million to make. It gallops in place. It reared up. It fell over. And it looks completely real."〔La Brea Living, Issue 10, October 2006, Creature Effects, Inc. Inside a Hollywood Special Effects Studio, Rick Eisenlord〕
