He has been a stunt double for Kurt Russell and Robert Englund, and worked on TV shows from X-Files to Smallville, and films from I, Robot to 300.

Chapman was uncredited for a stunt in the Smallville episode "Splinter" (Season 5, episode 7) where he was a stunt double for James Marsters. In the DVD commentary, Marsters says of Chapman, "...he was supposed to just land on top of the thing and the wine case and then slowly go down, and he got sent straight through it...that was such a nasty gag... but he was fine man, he’s a pro."^[3]
