Paul Denny is an Australian stage, television, and film actor.
Paul Denny grew up in Allora, Queensland. [1] His first experience of acting was at the age of 11 or 12, as one of the sons in a production of Fiddler On The Roof staged as part of the Allora annual community concert. He went on to perform in the annual concert in later years, including Monty Python skits. [2]
After finishing school, he studied acting at university. [2]
After graduating, Denny moved to Brisbane to pursue his acting career. In the second year, he won his first professional acting job, playing several roles in a production of Hamlet that toured Queensland for around six months. [2]
His good friend Adam Zwar wrote and directed a one-man show for Denny, called The Fall and Fall of Jeromy, which ran between 1993 and 1996 to critical acclaim. This proved a breakthrough, and Denny started getting regular parts at the two Brisbane professional theatre companies, as well as being offered various roles in film and TV. [2]
In 2001, he played the lead in the international production of Johnno from the novel by David Malouf. [1]
In 2003, he and his future wife Rebecca decided to move to Melbourne, which has a larger film and television industry. [2]
In 2013, he appeared in the long-running TV soap Neighbours as Brian O'Loughlin. [1]
By June 2014, he had appeared in more than 50 theatre productions. [1]
