The day in 1951, that Syl, (Paul's nickname since the age of ten), saw
Bobby Driscoll in Disney's version of Treasure Island, at the Lowe's
Paradise Theater in the Bronx, he knew what he wanted to do for the
rest of his life (the same Paradise Theater where Paul fell hopelessly
in love with Hedy Lamarr in "Samson and Delilah"). He wanted to be
on that screen forever. He wanted to live and work in the world of
pirates, cowboys, cops and robbers. Interestingly enough, the first TV
role he ever got was "Officer Williams" in Columbia TV's Police Story.
Attended American Academy of Dramatic Arts, New York City, New York, Acting,

Christ Superstar".
Attended Ithaca College, Ithaca, New York, 1962 but left to sing in the mighty Rock n' Roll Blues Band, "The Thrashers".
