He filmed two amazing seasons of the popular survival game series Dude, You're Screwed on Discovery Channel. Each action packed 8-episode season was aired in the U.S. and internationally, as the alternatively titled 'Survive That.'
You may also know him as that 'crazy military guy' who jumped head first into shark infested waters for his own one hour special Shark Attack Survival Guide, for Discovery Channel's infamous Shark Week.
And last, in his most well known and favorite project to date, as the fearless host of History Channel’s internationally broadcast series WARRIORS with Terry Schappert. In the 11-part series, Schappert traveled the globe experiencing the training, rituals and weapons of history’s most iconic warrior cultures.

Schappert takes the viewer through some of the most intense examples of close quarter battle ever experienced on TV, using cutting edge 3-D animation and a first‐person point‐of‐view. Besides Canada and the U.S., CQB has aired in Europe, Asia and Nat Geo Australia.
He was last seen on Outdoor Channel as a guest, teaching survival skills to Derek, the hapless suburban star of The Reluctant Outdoorsman - just in case of a doomsday apocolypse. Before that, Schappert took part in Outdoor Channel's "adrenaline-fueled reality series" Elite Tactical Unit (ETU), featuring a "fierce competition between active-duty S.W.A.T. officers." During the 2013 series, Schappert leads one of two teams of elite SWAT operators chosen from around the nation to compete against each other in real-world type missions to see who is the last man standing.
He has also been spotted fighting off the undead in the film adaptation of Steve Niles' horror comic book Remains on the Chiller Network, as well as his many theatrical enemies while onstage in NYC - playing such roles as Shakespeare's MacBeth and Roshomon's legendary bandit Tajomaru.
