Paul grew up in a small town outside of Waco, TX. His first television opportunity came in 1955 on a TV show in NYC in a "baby race". He worked on commercials for a local rental store in Waco in the 60's before moving to Dallas and signing with Sarah Norton Agency in the 70's and appeared on "Dallas" and in many commercials and movies. He was also the regular 7-11 manager in numerous commercials and training films for Marina Kate Agency. He's also worked on New York and other locations as a model. After taking time to work for Carnival and Admiral Cruise Lines as Chief Purser in the 80's, he moved back to Dallas and appeared in several "Walker, Texas Ranger" productions. Lately, he's appeared in "The Good Guys", "Chase" and "Lone Star". Paul's crew work included Jon Voight's primary stand-in on "Lone Star" and also stood in for Keith David and Mark Deklin. Additionally, he reprized his work from the original "Dallas" as Patrick Duffy's primary stand-in on the new "Dallas" TNT series and also Larry Hagman's stand-in for the Pilot.
