Michael Papajohn

Biography:

Michael Papajohn is an American actor, director, writer, stuntman and producer.

He is best known for his roles in Law and Order, The Amazing Spider-Man, You Don't Mess With The Cohan, Spider-Man, Mississippi Grind and in Rachel Weisz' film of Jason Bourne's enemy film, The Bourne Legacy.

The Texas Rangers drafted him in 1985, but he chose instead to attend Louisiana State University on a baseball scholarship. He was the starting center-fielder on the first LSU team to go to the College World Series in 1986, and again in 1987.

While filming Charlie's Angels (2000), Michael was kicked in the jaw with a stiletto boot. He found himself in an emergency room, insisting that he was not the victim of domestic violence. The spousal abuse representatives had a hard time believing that he had been kicked by lead Cameron Diaz.
