Born in Brooklyn and raised in the Garden State, Paul Benjamin's yearning for acting began with Beetlejuice. Between falling in love with the film and Michael Keaton's performance, Paul knew what his path was from there on end. Raised in an environment surrounded by the arts, Paul spent many of his Summer's at art school, all while growing a passion for writing from a young age. Mentored by Tony Lazzarino, Paul learned from him the fundamental techniques behind great script writing. Skills that he took with great heart, and has continued to use since. Soon after studying acting at the Stella Adler Studio of Acting, Paul spent time in front of the camera on shows such as Damages, Boardwalk Empire, a web series titled The Bar Series, as well as a role in an upcoming feature film to be released in 2014. Outside the world of the arts and entertainment, Paul spends his time as an avid Crossfitter, fitness enthusiast, and humanitarian. As a member of Be My Light, a non profit organization that shelters and rehabilitates street children in Egypt, to spending nights every week at a service mission program that he helped establish in New Brunswick, New Jersey to not only feed, but spend time with while forming personal bonds with the homeless, Paul's ultimate mission is to continue to make sure that no one living in poverty is ever forgotten about, or falls asleep hungry.
