Paul Santoli was born in Massapequa, NY. 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, 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 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 booked a part on TruTV's Laugh Mobb Laugh Tracks(2019), and a lead role on The Gauntlet(2019) with Tony Shand.
