He is proud of his film projects, most notably the independent film, The Sleep of Reason, in which he played the role of Derek. Originally from Chicago, Paul studied at The Second City and at the Steven Ivcich professional studio, for which he credits much of his tools for success. Paul’s favorite roles include Orlando in As You Like It, Brick in Cat on a Hot Tin Roof, and Jonathan in Arsenic and Old Lace.
