A quick note to any actor listening to this podcast: You will get a master class in acting from Paul's thoughts on character creation, development, and performance.
In addition to being my teacher, he is also my friend. A gifted actor, dancer, teacher, and musician, Paul was kind enough to showcase his talents. He also gave his thoughts and wisdom so generously that I can't wait to have him on the show again as soon as possible!
If you listen to the very end, you'll get a lovely surprise. It was glorious and fantastic as is the man himself!
Do not wait! Find Paul and follow him on social media. You'll be so very glad you did.
