Who is it?

He was born into a family of theater actors. Not only his parents were actors, but grandmother on the maternal line Olga Gvinn was an actress, while her husband was a musician and impresario.

When he was still a schoolboy, the family moved from the city to a small provincial town. He was never able to make friends with the new classmates, who constantly bully him, and the boy felt lonely and lost.

Everything changed dramatically when he was sixteen. The turning point was the tragic death of his eight-year-old brother Matthew. The kid got fatal injuries, falling off the roof of the gazebo during the game. The brothers were great friends, and the death of the younger became the strongest blow for him. The sense of guilt for many years settled in his soul and resulted in an inexorable need to somehow punish himself.
Death to Matthew destroyed the family. Parents could not help each other to cope with grief and parted. And Paul soon left the house and began to live in London on his own.

He studied acting at the London Drama Center.
