Born on June 12, 1989, at Basildon Hospital in England, Paul Thomas was the middle child of Gary, a skilled professional Double Glazier, and Kay, a successful Saleswoman. His parents' dedication to their respective careers and family life laid the foundation for Paul's future endeavors.
Raised in Stanford-le-Hope, Essex, Paul was surrounded by the rich cultural heritage of the region, which likely influenced his early interests and aspirations. As the middle child between Lee (born in 1986) and Keri (born in 1997),Paul developed strong family bonds and a sense of responsibility.
At the age of 18, Paul made the bold decision to leave his hometown and pursue a career in acting. He enrolled at East 15 Acting School in Loughton, where he immersed himself in the world of theatre and performance.
During his time at East 15, Paul's talent and dedication earned him recognition. In 2009, he was the runner-up for the prestigious Lawrence Olivier Bursary Award, and in 2010, he was nominated to represent the school in the Carleton Hobbs Award.
Paul's professional debut on screen came with the 2012 film Eschatrilogy: The Book of The Dead. However, it was his role in The Guvnors (2014) that brought him widespread recognition. Playing the younger version of the main protagonist, Mitch, Paul's portrayal of the character's past and inner struggles resonated with audiences.
