Biography

Paul Rapovski, is an entrepreneurial film and TV producer, actor and a video-game mo-cap action specialist who first came into the international film and television arena by building on his reputation as a highly respected fight and stunt director.

Paul established a home base in Hong Kong before becoming a bona fide marquee star in Pacific Rim (and world stick-fighting champion). As a result of his renown in the region, he established important pre-sales and financing relationships in Hong Kong, China, Singapore and then Europe.

Paul is regularly brokering high quality international relationships at key film and TV markets, assisting for example, in bringing German equity funding to the first season of the Starhunter TV series.

In the video game world, Paul provided all the mo-cap action aspects of Microsoft and Silicon Knights on the much anticipated new XBOX 360 game Too Human, the first in a trilogy, is to be released in 2007.

Paul and his partner Plato Fountidakis own FAST Motion Studios a unique mo-cap shooting studio unlike any of its kind in Canada and one of only a few in the world.

Paul's pre-eminence in stunt direction led to close relationships with actors and directors of major action genre pictures, including such titles as: Bulletproof Monk, and Steven Tung's The Hitman starring Jet Li, as well as Li's "The Enforcer" and Vin Diesel's Chronicles of Riddick.

Paul worked with Jackie Chan on "Thunderbolt" and Extreme Challenge, also directed by Steven Tung. His series credits include "Mutant X", for Tribune, the second season of Relic Hunter, "John Woo's Once a Thief", and "The Famous Jett Jackson" (Seasons 2, 3 & MOW).

Paul's internationally renown F.A.S.T. action and stunt team has provided the action elements of Microsoft / Silicon Knights new premiere video game "Too Human".
