Born in South Africa, Paul led a nomadic existence as a child, living across Australia, South Africa and Mauritius before settling on Queensland’s Gold Coast at the age of seven.

At 21, he moved to Melbourne to pursue an acting career, dabbling in the stand-up comedy circuit while looking for work. He subsequently starred in several short films, stage productions and the independent Melbourne feature Parallels.

Paul was rehearsing for a one-man show when he landed his big break in 2005 - the role of Constable Jack Holden on Home and Away.

Conscious of the influence his work on Home and Away has on children and teenagers, Paul has produced a video, Beach Rules which emphasises sun and surf safety and great tips for body board riding. He returned from spending three weeks in the UK during the Christmas break performing the lead role in the pantomime Aladdin and has just finished on the popular singing show "it Takes Two" as a quarter finalist.

A former chef, Paul can be found experimenting in the kitchen, specialising in seafood and Italian dishes. A singer/guitarist, Paul can salsa dance and loves surfing, body boarding, golf, skiing and water skiing.

Paul has an impressive international fan base including Australia, NZ, UK, Denmark, Sweden, Norway and Ireland.
