Paul Andreovski

Paul Andreovski was born on the 24th of February in1968 in Australia and began his martial arts training at the age of 8. He began his career in stunt work in 1996 when he auditioned for Jackie Chan, who had come to Melbourne, Australia to film Mr. Nice Guy (1997). Paul passed the audition and became the second non-Asian "official member of the Jackie Chan Stunt Team", alongside fellow Australian Bradley James Allan. Paul worked with the team on several movies as a stuntman and in small acting roles, he also worked as Jackie Chan's boxing coach, up until 2004 where he took a break, returning for 2010's The Spy Next Door (2010) where he doubled for lead villain Magnús Scheving. One of his most notable onscreen appearances was in the movie The Medallion (2003), where he plays a kidnapper disguised as a hospital worker.

Here we can see Paul Andreovski as one of the Policemen (1st right) in Shanghai Knights.

 

Then later he can be seen playing one of the guards, but due to the editing it's tricky to tell whether he's playing an actual character or just doubling, but given lots of close ups for some reason.
