Paul Anthony, the inaugural recipient of the BC Entertainment Hall of Fame's most promising newcomer award, has been hailed by prominent publications such as the Vancouver Sun and the Georgia Straight as an up-and-coming talent to watch.
His journey in acting began in theatre, with performances across the country alongside esteemed companies like The Vancouver Playhouse, The Arts Club, Prairie Theatre Exchange, The Belfry Theatre, and MTYP.
Paul has received widespread acclaim for his own projects, including "The Death of Comedy", a co-creation with writer Devin McCracken, and his innovative "The Drunk Improv" scientific experiments, which have both gained underground cult followings.
In 1998, his comedy/audio art album "Wordcore" was named one of the best independent releases of the century by Discorder Magazine and CITR radio.
Throughout his life, Paul has been dedicated to the art form, participating in numerous workshops and even staging his own social experiments from a young age of 8. He graduated from Studio 58, considered one of North America's finest acting programs, in 2001.
In 2006, Paul starred in the provocative indie film "Eighteen", alongside Alan Cumming and Carly Pope, and has also been recognized for his performances in the Emmy-winning mini-series "Traffic", the adaptation of Irvine Welsh's "Bad Blood", and Guy Maddin's "Hands of Ida".
