Topic: Paul O'Brien

Paul O'Brien (born 14 April 1978) is a Logie Award-winning actor from Australia.

Paul was born on 14 April 1978 in South Africa, and grew up in Australia as well Mauritius. Paul spent several years on the Gold Coast, with his brother, Chad and younger sister Taryn Lee. He attended first St Kevins in Benowa and then Somerset and Marymount Colleges. He spent a year studying for a building degree, was a chef, a model for Chadwicks and completed a radio presenting course before deciding that his ambitions were for an acting career. At the age of 21 he decided to move to Melbourne to pursue acting and to be with his parents who had moved there a couple of years earlier.

Paul surfs, loves to cook, plays the guitar, composes songs, and plays the occasional game of golf. Paul is also involved in various charities, including the National Breast Cancer. The charity he chose for It Takes Two was a children's charity and Paul is more than happy to lend his name in support for helping others. His nickname in high school was Ace and his family call him 'Paulie'. Paul owns an apartment in Manly, Sydney. Since leaving Home And Away he has moved to the USA and is living in L.A. He is currently signed to international enertainment giants ICM who in the past have represented Hollywood movie stars such as Julia Roberts. Contrary to ridiculous rumours that Paul returns to Home and Away even though his character is dead, Jack is definitely not coming back as reported in the local Australian newspaper where Paul and his family lives, "Gold Coast". http://www.goldcoast.com.au/article/2009/02/14/49081_gossip-news.html
