Paul Santoli was born into an Italian household on Long Island, where he was exposed to the world of comedy from a young age, watching Seinfeld and developing a passion for sitcoms and comedy.
As a teenager, he began his career in stand-up comedy on Long Island, but soon discovered a deeper passion for acting, inspired by legendary actors such as Marlon Brando, Robin Williams, Adam Sandler, and Shia LaBeouf.
He took his talents to the next level by attending Stella Adler's School of Acting in New York City, where he honed his skills alongside students at HB Studios.
With over 40 of his own sketch comedies under his belt, including the critically acclaimed "Doughnuts Productions - Seasons 1 & 2", he began to write more serious pieces, showcasing his range as a writer and actor.
His short film "Leave it All Behind" (2018),which he wrote, directed, and starred in, earned him an award for best actor and a coveted interview on Msgr. Jim Lisante's radio show in New York City.
Just two months later, he made the bold decision to relocate to Los Angeles, seeking new opportunities on the West Coast.
Since then, he has continued to build his resume, starring in commercials for BoomBoom and Powerade, and working on his feature film "Because of Mika", which he co-wrote with Cooper Tomlinson.
In addition to his film work, he recently appeared in the found footage thriller "Milk & Serial" (2024),directed by Curry Barker, solidifying his status as a talented and versatile actor.
