Early life

Paul was born in Emmett, Idaho,[3] the son of Robert, a Baptist minister, and Darla Sturtevant. He is the youngest of five children. Paul attended Centennial High School in Boise, and graduated one year early.[4]

Career

In 1996, Paul went to Los Angeles for the International Modeling and Talent Association competition. He won runner-up in the competition and signed with a manager.[4] Prior to gaining fame, Paul appeared on an episode of The Price is Right on January 3, 2000[5] and worked as a movie theater usher at Universal Studios in Hollywood.[6] He starred in music videos for Korn's song "Thoughtless" and Everlast's song "White Trash Beautiful".[7] He was also featured in television commercials for Juicy Fruit,[8] Corn Pops,[9] and Vanilla Coke.

Film

Paul has appeared in the films Whatever It Takes (2000), Help! I'm a Fish (2001) (voice only), K-PAX (2001), MTV's TV Movie Wasted (2002), National Lampoon's Van Wilder (2002), Perfect Opposites (2004), Bad Girls From Valley High (2005), Choking Man (2006), Mission: Impossible III (2006), and The Last House on the Left (2009), among others. He also starred in the 2010 web-released Funny or Die short Weird: The Al Yankovic Story as "Weird Al" Yankovic.[10] Smashed, a film in which Paul starred, was one of the official selections for the 2012 Sundance Film Festival.[11]

In 2008, Paul began playing Jesse Pinkman on AMC's Breaking Bad.
