Born in Richmond, Virginia, Paul made his professional stage debut at nine years old as the lead in Gian Carlo Menotti's opera Amahl and the Night Visitors. He studied Shakespeare and acting in London and later at Florida State University, and at the University of South Florida where he graduated with superior academic achievement from the College of Fine Arts. He spent two seasons acting with the famed regional Equity (AEA) theatre group, American Stage in their Shakespeare in the Park performances of Much Ado About Nothing and The Merry Wives of Windsor. He made his first feature film appearance in Citizen Verdict (2003) starring Armand Assante, Roy Scheider and Jerry Springer. Paul served as producer on his first documentary movie Inside the Handy Writer's Colony, which subsequently aired on PBS. Wilson was a founding member of the Sunscreen Film Festival in St. Petersburg, Florida and is president and CEO of Wilson Media, an advertising agency he founded in 2000. He's written and directed hundreds of television commercials and arranged jingles and music, performing with his brothers on stage in their band, The Wilson Van, which has raised more than $100,000 for Tampa Bay charities in only first five concerts. Paul is a 20-year featured vocalist with the Mostly Pops Orchestra. He co-starred opposite Jenna Elfman with his brother, Patrick Wilson who, along with Ashley Judd, starred in Adriana Trigiani's motion picture Big Stone Gap which opened nationally in October of 2015. The movie was Trigiani's big screen adaptation of her eponymous NY Times best-selling novel. Big Stone Gap was shot entirely in Big Stone Gap, Virginia, where Paul's father, John Wilson was born and raised. Patrick and Paul Wilson stayed in their father's childhood home during production on Wilson Road. In 2016, Paul stars as an over-zealous Baptist preacher in Shooting the Prodigal, a family-friendly comedy that was also shot in Virginia. Hide
