Paul McCarthy-Boyington's childhood in inner city San Francisco was a rich tapestry of artistic influences, courtesy of his parents, artists Carrell McCarthy and Paul Boyington. As a youngster growing up in the vibrant Mission District, he discovered his passion for performance, initially through break-dancing with a local crew.
This early enthusiasm for movement led his parents to enroll him in jazz, ballet, and modern dance classes, which in turn sparked an interest in acting and music. Paul's innate versatility and willingness to take risks have since made him a sought-after performer, always bringing his unique flavor to acting, music, and content creation through writing and filmmaking.
Growing up in San Francisco, Paul's education was a unique blend of arts and sports, with a dash of experimentation. As a teenager, he made avant-garde films at the San Francisco Art Institute, while directing plays at his high school. He was also an accomplished athlete, winning multiple awards in basketball, baseball, and soccer.
Paul's summers were spent in Los Angeles, where he immersed himself in acting, music, and dance, laying the groundwork for a diverse range of roles in TV, films, voice overs, commercials, and theater. His impressive credits include multiple Best Actor awards in film festivals, as well as collaborations with esteemed actors such as Allison Janney, Walter Goggins, Jesse Plemons, Omari Hardwick, Max Greenfield, Steve Ogg, Mandy Patinkin, Kevin Alejandro, Ernie Hudson, Peter Coyote, Alfred Molina, and Rutger Hauer.
When he's not acting, Paul can be found performing with his eclectic band Galactic Flo, which has been featured in the Netflix film Chastity Bites and a commercial for LA Metro. Outside of the entertainment industry, Paul is an avid surfer, skier, trail biker, fly fisherman, tennis player, and basketball enthusiast. He's also passionate about travel, cooking, painting, reading, and fighting for social justice.
