For his role in The Fabelmans, Paul earned a nomination for Outstanding Performance by a Male Actor in a Supporting Role. In a statement, the actor reflected on the achievement, noting that he “joined Actors Equity when I was about 10-years old, and SAG around 16.”
“To be able to say that I am still an actor, which is to say that I get to do something I love, is a gift I have never been more grateful for,” he continued. “I am still processing that Steven Spielberg would ask me to play his father. That I got to utter Steven Spielberg and Tony Kushner‘s words. That I got to be a member of this onscreen family, with my Mitzi, Michelle [Williams], my boy, Gabriel [LaBelle], and the rest of our beautiful Fabelman ensemble. To my fellow actors – THANK YOU!”
