Biography

Paul McCarthy-Boyington was raised in inner city San Francisco. From an early age, Paul was influenced by the arts - being the son of artists Carrell McCarthy & Paul Boyington. As a youngster growing up in the Mission District he started performing in a break-dancing crew, which eventually lead to his parents sending him to jazz, ballet, and modern dance classes. Eventually these dance classes lead to acting and music classes. Paul is a versatile performer and is always ready to bring his off-beat flavor to acting, playing music and creating content through writing and filmmaking. Growing up in San Francisco he had an eclectic education that spanned the arts and sports. As a young teen, he made experimental films at the San Francisco Art Institute while directing plays at his high school. As a an athlete, he won multiple awards in basketball, baseball and soccer. His summers were spent in Los Angeles where he was immersed in acting, music and dance. Paul's experience covers an eclectic range of roles in TV, films, voice overs, commercials and theater, highlighted by winning multiple Best Actor awards in film festivals. In addition he's had the good fortune to work opposite amazing talent such as Allison Janney, Walter Goggins, Jesse Plemons, Omari Hardwick, Max Greenfield, Steve Ogg, Mandy Patinkin, Kevin Alejandro, Ernie Hudson, Peter Coyote, Alfred Molina and Rutger Hauer. You can also catch him performing in his wildly eccentric band Galactic Flo, which was featured in the comedy/horror Netflix film Chastity Bites as well as a commercial for LA Metro.
