Paul grew up in Washington D.C., Virginia, Taiwan, Ohio, and Pennsylvania, and counts among his ancestors an adjutant to Gen. Washington and the founders of Taunton, Massachusetts. His first pulp memories are of sneaking backstage during the Chinese operas performing near his parents' army base home in Taiwan. The actors would amuse themselves by painting his face in traditional Chinese theatrical fashion; thereafter as a dog, or a demon, or a wizened old man, he would terrorize the rest of his family. After returning to the United States, Paul studied opera singing and became an apprentice at a local summer stock theater. He attended Interlochen Arts Academy, and is a graduate of NYU's Tisch School of Film & Television.

Paul has lived in New York for over 20 years and currently resides in Brooklyn with his wife and sons.
