hilarious and frightening all at once.”
“When I read the script, I thought ‘this isn’t going to be a walk in the park’, but it’s something I’ve really got to do
because it's a great acting challenge… it’s really stretched me and made me grow” says Paul.
Paul has professionally trained at The Actors’ Program and has been unstoppable in pursuing his acting dream. 2015 saw

Paul’s passion for acting is unrelenting, and his drive stems from the ability to move an audience. “I thrive on the
audience’s response; moving the audience to feel, to laugh, to think, to educate, but mainly to entertain people.”
