1994-03-22 | Massapequa, Long Island, New York, USA
Paul Santoli was born in Massapequa, Long Island, in an Italian household. Growing up watching Seinfeld at a young age, he soon fell in love with sitcoms and comedy. He began his career doing standing up comedy on Long Island at the age of 18 but soon found a deeper passion for acting. Looking up to actors like Marlon Brando, Robin Williams, Adam Sandler, and Shia LaBeouf, he decided to take his talents to the next level and attend Stella Adlers School of Acting in NYC. He studied at this school, along with HB studios. After writing and acting in over 40 of his own sketch comedies (Doughnuts Productions - Seasons 1 & 2), he began to write more serious pieces. His short film "Leave it All Behind(2018)" which he wrote, directed and starred in earned him an award for best actor and also an interview on Msgr. Jim Lisante's radio show in New York City. Two months later, he decided to move to Los Angeles and continue his career on the West Coast. He recently shot a commercial for BoomBoom, Powerade, and is working on his feature film "Because of Mika" which he wrote with Cooper Tomlinson. He starred in the found footage thriller "Milk & Serial" (2024) directed by Curry Barker.
