Biography

Paul Adam Schaefer, who recently shot 4 different shows in the last year, (HBO-The Gilded Age, Netflix-The Beauty, CBS-FBI, NBC-Blacklist), was also recently seen opposite Neil Patrick Harris in "Uncoupled" on Netflix, and has been seen on stage in Broadway and Off-Broadway productions in New York City for the last 20 years. He continues to train with Bob Krakower, Eric Reis and Allen Savage, and loves to get in front or behind the camera as much as possible.

Paul has lived in New York State for much of his life, being born outside of Albany, moving all over the east coast, and then returning to his roots when he followed his dreams of acting. He did take a break from the city when he jumped on a national tour and managed to drive through almost every state in the country. Being a hiker and outdoors enthusiast, this was a great adventure, but he knew he needed to get back to work in his home city.

This was a great move as he soon booked a Broadway show and found a rare opportunity in consistent regular work on stage. He continued to train and do various independent films and TV shows. He's recently signed with a new manager, and is consistently getting on set and getting the experience he needs to elevate his work.

Paul is also an avid teacher for the last 15 years, teaching privately as well as in many summer intensives. He loves passing on what he's learned to succeed in this business.
