Biographie
Paul Gunn is a tenacious, versatile and multi-talented entertainer that, over the years, has performed as a singer, dancer, actor, model, stuntman, emcee, specialty/variety artist and voice over artist. He traveled the world by the age of 23 and put himself through university, earning a BS in Management Information Systems from UNLV by either being onstage, on a microphone or in front of a camera.
Although Paul has spent most his career onstage, he was able to transition to the screen with incredible ease. He is most recently noted for playing a wide range of emotions as the apathetic, foul-mouthed soldier/killing machine, Sgt. Lobo Katz in Albert Pyun's Interstellar Civil War (2017). He was most recently given another lead role in Pyun's most recent film project in development, Napolean, where he will portray free-solo rock climbing phenom, Brick Bardo. Not only being restricted to athletic roles, Paul displays his wide range of acting skills by playing multiple characters in the upcoming, surreal psychological-thriller, Bleach, by playing such characters as an English farmer, a demon and a demi-god. (All this was accomplished in a short, three year span, upon deciding to take his acting career more seriously!)
Born in Thailand, Paul and his family immigrated to the US and he grew up in Dallas, Texas. He studied singing and dancing in his formative years and performed in plays and musicals in school. He went on to perform in live shows at Six Flags over Texas and at Disneyland. Eventually, Paul took a dream job of traveling around the world and performing as a dancer/singer and assistant cruise director for Princess Cruise Lines.
Paul resigned the ships and settled in Las Vegas and performed in shows on the Vegas Strip including Splash, Tournament of Kings and because of his singing and dance training, as well as his emceeing experience, he was a line captain in multiple tours for The Chippendales. From working with Chips, he has been featured in calendars, posters and DVDs, as well as radio and television interviews, internationally. After his male revue days, he has since been focused primarily on acting and has been able to garner much attention in just a short amount of time in the acting world.
Throughout his long career and multiple iterations, Paul's personal life mission has always been to change the way that Asian men are viewed in western popular culture and media and is excited and grateful for the opportunity to portray the cocky, silver-tongued Asian actor and ladies' man, David Chang, opposite of Keisha Knight Pulliam the new television sitcom, 3 Year Plan.
