Paul was an actor in adolescence and grew up in Manor House, London. After turning professional at the age of 14 when he enrolled at a stage school. He appeared in the film Bugsy Malone at 14, and in an episode of police drama The Sweeney at the age of 16. Two years later, he took the background role of convict Betts in the cinematic re-make of controversial borstal film Scum. Betts' character was notable in the film, as he was the only one seen to be released - albeit temporarily, for his wedding.
He spent much of the 1980s on stage, working with the Royal Shakespeare Company,and played major role in Going Out, about a group of teenagers in the Portsmouth area, although he took a part in the lukewarmly-received ITV sitcom Tripper's Day in 1984. Set in a supermarket, this was a notable programme only because it was the final television work undertaken by the distinguished British actor Leonard Rossiter prior to his sudden death. Paul stayed in the series when it was re-cast with Bruce Forsyth two years LESS
