Paul recently wrote and produced several songs for Hilary Duff, which she performs in the upcoming feature film “War, Inc.” starring John Cusack and Ben Kingsley.

Paul came up playing music on the streets of Greenwhich Village for tips to pay for acting class with the legendary Mira Rostova and William Hickey. It was during this time that Paul met and started writing songs with the great Carole King. Also during this time Paul met famed indie filmmaker Abel Ferarra. Paul would go on to collaborate on several film and music projects with Ferarra including “Bad Lieutenant” in which Paul plays Jesus Christ and provides the end credit theme along with Ferarra.

Paul has appeared in over over 30 feature films. Upcoming films include "Dirt Nap", which Paul stars in along with DB Sweeney, John C. McGinley and Ed Harris and director Ernst Gossner's award winning feature "South Of Pico."

On the small screen Paul has appeared in approximately one billion TV shows.

Paul made his feature film directorial debut with "Death Of A Dog" in 2001. Executive produced by Abel Ferrara the film stars Julie Kessler and Edie Falco.

Paul's next film as writer/director "Burn Out" will be completed next spring.

On stage Paul has appeared in many off-Broadway shows and was nominated for a Laurence Olivier Award in London and a Tony for his work on Broadway.

Song For The Writers!

Posted November 15, 2007 | 11:51 AM (EST)


I like writers. They tend to be decent, funny, creative people. I have always found the actor/writer relationship to be a very creative one. I know all the writer jokes actors tell and vice versa but the truth is that actors and writers are like.... well.... Like....Uh... I could act...

Fearless Song

Posted September 26, 2006 | 11:27 AM (EST)


First of all, thanks to all of you thousands of folks who are taking the time to write to me about my work and asking about the CD. Soon! Very soon! This is becoming an amazing ride and it'll be interesting to see how far we can go and how many riders we can pick up on the way.

Now to the blog :

Arianna called me and said (fill in your own Greek accent) "Hey Baby, We need a fearless song".

"When do you need it by" I asked:

"I want you to sing it tonight at a party in San Francisco at the home of Larry Ellison"

I was so seized by fear I almost dropped the phone but after Arianna talked me down and said "Be Fearless" in that oh so very convincing way of hers I knew I had to get over my fear song fear and start writing. Arianna is as close to real fearlessness as one can get. She is truly an inspiration.

I played the song at Arianna's party in S.F. and people loved it. Then on Saturday night I played the song for a nice looking group of folks in an Upper East Side Townhouse filled with Arianna-ites in really really nice clothes (Though nobody looked better than Arianna in her YvesSaintLaurent ensemble. Oh wouldn't I have looked good in a matching YSL suit? A fellow can dream) and they seemed to really like the song as well. I am sure we will be dong more gigs together on the "Fearless" tour. But until then....

Here is a quickly recorded version that features an appearance by my original Fearless Mentor - My Mom.
This is a work in progress as it has one more verse that I am still perfecting. It will be out soon in it's entirety. In the meantime enjoy this dispatch from the fearless launch-pad.
