A native of Southern California, Paul grew up active in sports like soccer and surfing. His mother was a model and he also did some modeling and acting as a child. Some of his early tv work includes episodes of "Charles in Charge", "Highway to Heaven", "Who's the Boss?", and "Diff'rent Strokes". In 1986, Paul starred in the horror spoof Monster in the Closet and was featured on the tv series "Throb" (1986-87). He later joined the cast of "The Young & The Restless" as Brandon Collins. After finishing high school, Paul tried various community colleges around Southern California, majoring in marine biology. But after getting a taste for acting, he knew he wanted to get back to it. He does know that if he were to give up acting, he'd like to go back to school and get a teaching credential as he finds teaching very gratifying. Back to acting Paul went, starring in Meet the Deedles and moving on to Pleasantville,, Varsity Blues, She's All That, then Brokedown Palace, now the current hit movie The Skulls, and the soon to come Squelch and Racer X . Paul doesn't like to watch his own movies, but his fans sure do. He hopes to find more dramatic roles and would like to produce himself one day. Paul also warns those wanting to make it in the business to avoid the hyped up Hollywood scene that is the downfall of so many young stars. Friends call Paul “the Vagrant” because he does not live in one place for long. He travels often taking his belongings, including his surf board, in his Ford Explorer. He says Costa Rica would be his ideal place to settle down since he hates the city and loves surfing, nature and the beach. He was currently dating Bliss Ellis, a student at The University of Texas, who was an extra in Varsity Blues. They met on the set and had been dating since last April.
