Born 14 November (although the Internet Movie Database lists January), 1959, in Liverpool, England, Paul stands 5'10" tall and has blue-green eyes. He has three brothers who are also actors: Joe (24 July 1958), Mark (12 July 1961), and Stephen (2 February 1963). He also has a sister named Clare (9 September 1965). Raised with a strict Roman Catholic upbringing, his father was a metallurgist and mother was a teacher.
Paul, a student at a Jesuit grammar school, was urged to audition and later accepted to the Royal Academy of Dramatic Arts (RADA) where he honed his acting abilities.
Paul suffered a knee injury while playing football (American soccer) with the production crew of Sharpe in 1991 which lost him the lead in that series, but quickly recovered from it, going on to play two roles in The Three Musketeers (1993).
He currently resides in Bristol, England with his wife Annie Milner (whom he met at Much Ado in Basingstoke -- she was the assistant stage manager) with their two sons, Joseph and Jake (ages 9 and 7). According to the Vegetarian Society, Paul is reportedly a vegetarian.
