Ingo Rademacher (born April 22, 1971, in Iserlohn-Letmathe, West Germany; raised in Australia), is a television actor. He has portrayed the role of Jasper Jax Jacks on the daytime soap opera General Hospital almost continuously since 1996. During a one-year break, he appeared on the short-lived prime time soap opera Titans.
The character of "Jax", a suave tycoon, has been involved with a succession of General Hospital characters, most notably that of Brenda Barrett, played by Vanessa Marcil. The triangle of Brenda, Sonny (Maurice Benard) and Jax proved captivating to viewers.
There are constant rumors implying that he will soon be leaving the show. "I am burnt out," Rademacher told the Australian publication The Sunday Mail. "All I have done in the last 10 years is go to work. [If I leave GH] I don't know if I want to stay in America, it's very corporate. I do want to have a farm where I can just veg out." The show has recently once sent out a casting call for a character named "Hugo," which many have thought will turn out to be a recast for Jax.
