Ingo Rademacher (born April 22, 1971 in Iserlohn-Letmathe, West Germany; raised in Australia), is a noted 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. 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 sent out a casting call for a character named "Hugo", which many think will turn out to be a recast for Jax. As of June 2006, Rademacher is on vacation at his home in Hawaii for a period of time "while his reps, hopefully, hash out an agreement with the Hospital's execs for his return shortly thereafter. . . both parties are very close to reaching an agreement that would. . . ^* Rademacher some free time (which we hear was his sticking point)." - ABC Soaps In Depth, July 4, 2006.
