He is a graduate of the Comedy Sportz Training Program in Virginia, the Second City Training Center in Chicago as well as the legendary Improv Olympic in Chicago where he had the rare opportunity to study under the legendary Del Close. After his group, Bitter Noah, was selected to perform their signature piece, the Improvised Movie, at the US Comedy Arts festival Paul moved to Los Angeles and founded the iO West where he has been teaching, directing and performing (both written and improvised shows) ever since. During his time in Hollywood Paul has become a sought after improv coach, producer and consultant.

A Dallas native, Jimmy has been living in Hollywood since 2001. His career has been equal parts national commercials (Volkswagen, Tide, Snickers, ESPN, and AT&T, to name a few), combined with a variety of narrative projects, from web shorts through feature films.


Most of all, Jimmy loves making people laugh, which defines his passion for acting.


Oh, and the money. But that’s after the laughing part.

About The Series



Larry and Jeff are going nowhere… unfortunately they know it. Working at a satellite for an India-based technology firm, they have little going for themselves except for each other, and that’s not saying much. Well, there’s Katy, their eager intern who seems to love working with them – which is a little strange. But things are quickly changing, and they soon realize that no matter how hard they try to pretend they don’t have to grow up, life is going to kick them in the butt anyway.
