When
talking with Paul Carr, the strongest impression
is of a man who cares deeply and is fiercely
loyal. Throughout the conversation one hears
regular mention of family and friends, and an
underlying theme of commitment to growth and
creativity in all of his endeavors. Whether
its cooking, writing a play, performing, or
playing with his 8-year-old son Michael, Mr. Carr
seems to have the uncommon ability to be in the
moment. Its clear that this gift has served
him well throughout his life, particularly in
regards to his acting career.
Born and raised in New Orleans, Louisiana, to a
mother of Cajun descent and a father from New
York, Carrs unique family background
provided him with ties and experiences in two
vastly different environments. Winters were spent
in New Orleans near his mothers family
attending school, and in the summer his
fathers publishing work would take them to
New York, where he enjoyed the company of his
paternal relatives.
As a young man, Mr. Carr had expectations of
becoming a professional musician, even going so
far as to attend the prestigious Julliard School
of Music for one summer during high school, where
he studied the clarinet. However, upon seeing his
son perform in a high school play, Pauls
father complimented him on his talent and
suggested that perhaps acting was a career he
should consider pursuing. With his familys
support, Carr began his education in the
performing arts. Once again it was his father who
provided encouragement and assistance when he
informed Paul of an audition that was being held
for a play at the New Orleans Community Theatre.
Securing a part in the Mardi Gras production of
" A la Creole", Pauls course was
set. "I remember the enormous thrill I got
when I delivered my lines and the audience
laughed," Carr recalled. "It was
exhilarating to know that my performance was
responsible for that moment. After that I had no
doubt that this was what I wanted to do with my
life." After performing in numerous local
theatre productions, Paul Carr felt the need to
further improve his acting skills.
Moving to New York, Carr began studying acting at
the American Theatre Wing, which sponsored the
Tony Awards. He remained there for six years,
during which time he worked in summer stock,
Broadway plays, and live television. To make ends
meet, he also worked as a window dresser, a skill
he had acquired as a young man in New Orleans.
Always creative, it was one more example of his
artistic talents, as well as a common-sense
ability to utilize these gifts toward earning a
living. It was during this period in New York
that Carr worked with legendary actors Hume
Cronyn and Jessica Tandy in a live television
broadcast. "Their professionalism and talent
was wonderful to see," Carr recalled
admiringly
Paul made his screen debut in 1957 as the young
man in Alfred Hitchcocks film, "The
Wrong Man," which starred Henry Fonda and
Vera Miles. From there he went on to the lead in
"Jamboree", a music-oriented film that
features an amazing line-up of popular musicians
of the era, including Carl Perkins, Frankie
Avalon, Fats Domino, Count Basie, and Jerry Lee
Lewis. "Making that film was fun," Carr
recalled fondly, "I was young and
optimistic, and very excited about the project.
Following this breakthrough, Paul Carrs
acting career gained momentum, and grew into
steady work in film, television, and stage. He
has since performed in several feature films and
movies of the week, been cast in a number of
television series and soap operas, as well as
performing character parts in hundreds of
television episodes from the mid-fifties into the
nineties. In addition to his work on film, Carr
has appeared in nearly 100 stage productions on
Broadway, off-Broadway, and off-off-Broadway, as
well as touring companies, stock, and in regional
theatres around the country. This includes a 1993
national tour of "Six Degrees of
Separation". He has performed at the Mark
Taper Forum appearing in "The Biko
Inquest", "Celebration", and
"Slivovitz", worked at the Arena Stage
in Washington D.C., where he appeared in
"The Chemmy Circle", in addition to
acting at the Equity Library Theatres in New York
City and Los Angeles.
This devotion to his craft has led to the LA
Weekly Award for Best Actor in the Theatre East
production of "Manhattan Express" in
1987, and a 1995 Dramalogue Award for his
portrayal of "Sam Byck" in the Los
Angeles Repertory production of
"Assassins". This performance also won
him favorable reviews in Variety, as well as
other Los Angeles publications.
In addition to his acting talents, Paul Carr also
enjoys writing and directing. Most recently he
directed a program in honor of the 50th
anniversary of the United Nations. Carr currently
heads the Play Committee of the LA Repertory
Company, as well as being involved in a group
called "Video Playwrights", where he
writes & produces plays on video.
Despite his obvious love for and involvement in
the performing arts, it still becomes clear that
Paul Carrs greatest joy comes from his
relationships. He has a good word for everyone he
has worked with, and his friendships span
decades. Married and divorced twice, he speaks
warmly of his ex-wives, and mentions his three
children and granddaughter with great pride and
pleasure. Paul is married to Meryl Carr, and loves spending time with their daughter, Micah. He has two daughters from a previous marriage, Alexandra and Christina, and is a doting grandfather to 6 year old Jesi.
Paul Carr's other activities include a wide
variety of sports, including golf, fencing, and
snow skiing. He is also a capable musician with
singing skills, as well as talents on the guitar
and saxophone. Carr has a modest, easy-going
manner, a quick wit, and charming sense of humor.
When asked if there was any role that he
regretted not getting he laughed heartily and
said, "Of course! Every role I never
got!"
Mr. Carr presently lives in Los Angeles, and is
writing a novel.
