Michael Papajohn (born 7 November 1964; age 59) is a stuntman and stunt actor who performed stunts in several episodes of Star Trek: Voyager and Star Trek: Enterprise and in Star Trek Generations. His costume from the second season episode "Judgment" was later sold off on the It's A Wrap! sale and auction on eBay. [1]

For the Voyager third season episode "Warlord", Papajohn filmed his scene on Wednesday 4 September 1996 on Paramount Stage 16. One day before, on Tuesday 3 September 1996, he also filmed a scene as a stunt guard in the prison cell but this scene was later re-filmed and Papajohn replaced by George Colucci.

Papajohn was a professional baseball player before he turned into a stuntman. He is perhaps well known for his role of the carjacker Dennis Carradine, who was involved in the murder of Peter Parker's uncle in Spider-Man (2002) and Spider-Man 3 (2007). Kirsten Dunst starred in both films. He played a Cardassian in The Indian in the Cupboard, alongside Keii Johnston, J.R. Horsting, Erik Stabenau, Frank Welker, and Christopher Gilman.

He has doubled for actors such as Adam Sandler in The Waterboy (1998) and has also worked as stunt coordinator for films such as A Boy Called Hate (1995).

Papajohn has appeared in several feature films such as Mobsters (1991, starring Christian Slater), The Last Boy Scout (1991), Blood In Blood Out (1993, with Victor Rivers, Carlos Carrasco, and Tom Towles), Eraser (1996, starring Vanessa Williams), Spawn (1997, with Melinda Clarke, Faith Minton, and Spice Williams), Titanic (1997), Starship Troopers (1997, with Dina Meyer, Brenda Strong, Clancy Brown, and stunts by Mark De Alessandro, Dana Dru Evenson, Anita Hart, and Michael Owen), What Dreams May Come (1998, with Rosalind Chao and stunts by Johnny Martin, Rosine "Ace" Hatem, and Darlene Williams), Charlie's Angels (2000), Showtime (2002, with William Shatner), A Man Apart (2003, with Jeff Kober, Marco Rodriguez, Jim Boeke, Ben Bray, Geno Silva, Thomas Kopache, Charlie Curtis, Dean Rubin, and Azalea Davila), Hulk (2003), Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines (2003, starring Kristanna Loken), and Live Free or Die Hard (2007, with Tim Russ, Chris Palermo, Shawn Crowder, and Boni Yanagisawa).
