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.
