Actor / Producer / Voice-Over Artist
Paul Pape began his professional acting career in New York as one of the original members of the Collonades Theater Lab (a repertory company). He did his apprenticeship with CTL, that also featured future notables Danny DeVito, Rhea Perlman, Jeff Goldblum, Kathleen Noone, Peter Scolari and Michael O'Keefe. After going Off-Broadway to appear with Kim Hunter in "The Cherry Orchard", Paul was cast to co-star as 'Double J' opposite John Travolta in "Saturday Night Fever".
He still appears on-camera and on-stage, while also enjoying a successful voice-overcareer with 8000+ credits. Paul's voice has been heard in virtually every form of media - including commercials, animation, ADR, narration, promos, video games and trailers. In addition, he has been a prominent voice for four Presidential campaigns, as well as hundreds of Senatorial, Congressional and Gubernatorial races for Democratic candidates.
As a producer, Paul founded Red Wall Productions in 1998. The company had their offices at Raleigh Studios in Hollywood and produced several short films, which garnered fourteen film festival nominations - resulting in awards for producing, directing, editing and writing. In 2011, the company expanded and was renamed New Trails Productions. The company recently completed the dark comedy "Frank n' Beans" - written by Steve Apostolina and directed by Phil Conserva (Producer/Director of "CSI"). Up next is an hour-long Docudrama, "The Testimony of Silas Soule", scheduled for production in 2023.
A member of the Academy of Television Arts and Sciences, Paul served on the Board of Directors of the SAG-AFTRA Foundation for eight years, where he is a Founder of the Don LaFontaine Voice-over Lab - a half million-dollar facility dedicated to the development and success of voice-over artists. He is currently Co-Chair of the Lab's Advisory Board, in addition to serving on the SAG-AFTRA Los Angeles Local Voice-over Performers Committee.
