Born to perform
It all began with a Boy Scout troop sketch.
When Paul took the stage at 10 years old and discovered he could make people laugh, it was all over. He knew that that was what he wanted to do for the rest of his life.
Today, Paul has been an actor, voice actor, and model in the Boston area for twenty years. In that time, he has become known, as he had hoped, for his strong comedic chops and even stronger eyebrows.
In theater, Paul is especially proud of the roles he has originated in world premieres. This includes his spine-tingling turn in The Legend of Sleepy Hollow at Greater Boston Stage Company, his first-ever one-man show, which earned him an Elliot Norton Award for Outstanding Solo Performance. He also portrayed Little H in the murder mystery adaptation Noir Hamlet, which went on to play at the 2019 Edinburgh Fringe Festival following its initial local success.
Other area stage credits include Featherbaby and Clue (Greater Boston Stage Company); The Garbologists and Tall Tales from Blackburn Tavern (Gloucester Stage Company); The Drowsy Chaperone and A Sherlock Carol at Lyric Stage Boston; Vanity Fair (Central Square Theater); The Wickhams: Christmas at Pemberley (Merrimack Repertory Theater); and A Confederacy of Dunces with Nick Offerman (Huntington Theater Company). Paul has also performed with Commonwealth Shakespeare Company (CSC), Actors Shakespeare Project (ASP), The Barnstormers Theatre, Gold Dust Orphans, Wellfleet Harbor Actors Theater (WHAT), Centastage, New Repertory Theatre, New Century Theatre, Foothills Theatre, and The Public Theatre.
He can currently be seen on the small screen in a series of Plymouth Rock Insurance ads as the Patriots Militia Man (during Boston sports broadcasts), in multiple roles within the Maine Spirits universe, and as a Celtics pro shop sales associate in a well-known Vistaprint commercial, where he sports his best Boston accent.
His film credits include At the Sea (expected release 2026); season 1 of Julia (HBO Max); A Playful Romance; Love, Weddings, & Other Disasters; Father of the Year; Unfinished Business; The Makeover; and The Pink Panther Deux.
Paul holds a BFA from Salem State University and is a member of Actors’ Equity Association and the Screen Actors Guild.
Outside of work, Paul is a New York Times crossword completionist, a trivia emcee for his family and friends, and the dad of a loquacious, LEGO-obsessed kid.
