Paul William Walker the fourth was born on September 12, 1973 in Glendale, California. He modeled as a child, starring in commercials for Pampers, and just about everything else imaginable. His mother was also a model. He began acting when he was only a child, but he only studied it after graduating high school. In 1986, Paul played Professor Bennet in the movie, Monster in the Closet. He then stared in the TV series, Throb. He also made guest appearances on several television shows including "Charles in Charge", "Highway to Heaven", "Who's the Boss", and "Different Strokes" (what ya talkin' about willis). In 1992-3 Paul had a role in the soap opera, "Young and the Restless". He played Brandon Collins. His next film was Tammy and the T-Rex in 1994.  He then had given up acting for the time being and tried to pursue his hopes to be a marine biologist. He majored in Marine Biology at some California community colleges, but wanted to get back into acting,..mainly at first just to make money. Then in 1996, he was cast in an episode of Touched by an Angel. This time he wanted to get back into acting for good. It was then, in 1998 that he stared in Meet the Deedles. As surfer bum Phil Deedle, alongside Steve Van Wormer, Dennis Hopper and A.J Langer. Then, playing the interest of Reese Witherspoon, Paul played a basketball star in the movie "Pleasantville" This movie also featured Tobey Maguire, and William Macey. Then in 1999, Paul starred in "Varsity Blues," a high school football drama. The movie also starred James Van Der Beek and Jon Voight. Paul played Lance Harbor, the star football quarterback who gets injured and can no longer play football. For his next movie, "She's All That," he played Freddie Prinze, Jr.'s (Zack Syler) friend who makes a bet that he can turn ugly duckling Laney Boggs into the Prom Queen. Paul's next movie is "Brokedown Palace" with Claire Danes.  In this movie, he plays Jason, the love interest of Claire Danes. He has enjoyed the characters that he has been able to play, but also hopes to find more dramatic roles for himself. He is interested in playing a character that is more his age, as opposed to a teenager in most of his previous films. He is also interested in doing a period piece in the future. He also has hopes to produce a movie one day. His career is truly taking off, and Paul is keeping an open mind about it all, and stays away from the Hollywood hype.

Paul enjoys surfing, snow-boarding, skiing, snorkeling, sailboarding, sailing, soccer and just about every other sport. He is close to nature and lives out of the back of his ford explorer with only the essentials,...and a surfboard. His friends call him "vagrant" because he doesn't live anywhere for that long. He still stays close to nature even though he is working in the midst of Hollywood. His love of animals doesn't fade, even when he is away from home. "I watch the Discovery Channel and Animal Planet all the time," he says, He was pretty popular in High school and has admitted that he was a jerk sometimes. But he says that he has greatly changed since those days. He met his current girlfriend on the set of Varsity Blues. She was an extra on the set and she goes to college in Texas. His idea of a fun date is a little bit unconventional "I don't like going on movie dates. I'd rather go bowling or miniature golfing. I love all that cheesy stuff."

Paul has also kept close to his family: brothers Caleb and Cody, and sister, Ashlie. His parents are very supportive of his career. They always had encouraged Paul to get back into acting.
