In 1976, Andy Warhol, having re-invented himself as the portrait painter of the rich and famous, traveled to Tehran to meet the Shah of Iran’s wife, the Empress Farah Pahlavi. In Andy Warhol in Iran, the American painter visits the country to take Polaroids of the Empress, only to encounter a young revolutionary who throws his plans into turmoil.

Rapp can currently be seen playing Lieutenant Stamets, a Starfleet Science Officer, on the third season of CBS All Access' Star Trek: Discovery. He will also return to Feinstein's/54 Below August 29–30 in Unplugged.
