He has appeared in more than 10 films and several television series. To the international audience he is probably best known for playing the role of Serbian terrorist Vlado Mirić in the 1997 action film The Peacemaker.

Medvešek was the stand-in presenter for Oliver Mlakar in the 1990 Eurovision Song Contest staged that year in Zagreb, when the latter quit over comments made about his age at the time. However Mlakar went on to present the show.[citation needed]
