Still at the age of 10, Paul had his first television role, in "Childrens Ward" on ITV, though only saying 3 lines.
Later, he started appearing in TV shows like The Biz (1995) and became UK teenage girls' favourite pin-up when he joined the EastEnders (1985) cast as Joe Wicks. 12 record companies have reportedly offered Paul the opportunity to record a single but they have all been turned down.
