John Otto was the acting director of the FBI in 1987.

John Otto is the drummer and an original member of the band Limp Bizkit. Unlike many modern drummers, he learned jazz-style drumming. In November 2004, rumors on Limp Bizkit fan boards began to surface of the departure of John Otto from Limp Bizkit. These conclusions were derived from the fact that new pictures of John Otto had not shown up on Limp Bizkit's official site for several months. Also some rumors say that John Otto is presently a Benedictine monk in Saint Benedict , LA. These rumors were addressed by Fred Durst himself in a post on his official website entitled "People are Dumb". Fred did not address the topic directly; he chose to give subliminal "hints" that John was indeed still in the band. Recently, pictures of John Otto have surfaced on Limp Bizkit's website, disproving the rumors altogether.
