Paul Van Scott is an award winning distinguished American actor celebrated for his exceptional versatility and captivating vocal prowess. Born to a pair of dedicated schoolteachers, his formative years were spent in the vibrant surroundings of the Washington DC area, where he honed his passion for the world of film, television, and broadcasting.

Paul's journey into the realm of entertainment commenced in 1989 when he embarked on a career in commercial radio. His unparalleled talent and charisma propelled him to great heights, earning him the prestigious distinction of being named the highest-rated drive-time radio DJ in the United States by Arbitron in 2001.

Despite his remarkable success as a beloved on-air personality, Paul harbored a deep-rooted aspiration to pursue acting. In 2016, he courageously embarked on a new chapter in his life, venturing into the world of acting. While this transition came later in life, it proved to be a transformative decision. Remarkably, on only his second audition, Paul secured the lead role in the acclaimed cult horror film "Tattletale Corpse." This auspicious debut marked the beginning of a prolific acting career that has seen him consistently land prominent roles in both television and film, cementing his status as a respected and accomplished actor.
