Hans-Michael Rehberg completed his acting training from 1956 to 1958 at the Folkwang School in Essen. After early engagements at the *Vereinigte Städtische Bühnen Krefeld-Mönchengladbach* and the *Landesbühne Schleswig*, he became a member of the ensemble at the *Bayerisches Staatsschauspiel* (Bavarian State Theater) at the age of just 25, remaining with the company until 1972. Further milestones in his theater career included the *Münchner Kammerspiele*, the *Deutsches Schauspielhaus Hamburg*, and *Schauspiel Köln*, where he also served for a time as co-director.

Guest appearances took him to venues such as the *Thalia Theater Hamburg*, the *Schauspielhaus Zürich*, the *Burgtheater* in Vienna, and the Salzburg Festival. In 1971, he also made his debut as a director at the *Münchner Residenztheater*. Alongside his extensive theater work, Rehberg appeared in approximately one hundred film and television productions. He gained widespread recognition through roles in *Schindler's List*, *Der Totmacher*, and *Die Manns*, as well as for his portrayal of Bishop Hemmelrath in the ARD television series *Pfarrer Braun*. In the feature film comedy *(T)Raumschiff Surprise – Periode 1*, he played the role of Rogul. Rehberg was regarded as a versatile character actor, particularly adept at embodying complex and vulnerable figures.

Percentiles are each film's standing among all films on MovieCove; the typical film is the median, so one outlier cannot drag it. Percentiles and reviewer scores count the films IMDb credits them on, for now; the Midcredits score bands, the shape of the crowd and the two cards count their MovieCove titles, shows included (a show ranked among shows), appearances as themselves left out. A descriptor is the shape of a title's IMDb rating distribution against the catalog; "most divisive" needs a spread wider than half of all titles, and a card names only a principal credit: a craft role, and on a show a crew role or a run of episodes, never a courtesy credit or a one-off guest spot.
