PAUL CAMPBELL
Paul Campbell has made a name for himself portraying devious, psychotic, bad guys in films such as: Dancehall Queen, Machete Joe, Shottas and First Sunday. His leading role & performance in Palm Picture’s Lunatic cemented Campbell as a venerable force and showcased his prowess as a method actor.
Campbell was born in Jamaica. It was at the Jamaica School of Drama, where Campbell incorporated into his acting arsenal his experiences growing up in the gritty streets of Kingston. His stage credits include leading roles in: Flame Heart, Checkers, the Mikado, White Witch of Rose Hall, Foreign Mind, Masquerade, and Mansong. Campbell has also worked extensively in the UK & the US. His credits include the lead role of Bogle in Catch a Fire for BBC TV, & the lead roles in the stage productions: Nine Nights, Whiplash, & Shakespeare’s The Merchant of Venice. Campbell’s TV credits include: Entry Denied, Final Verdict, County of The One-Eyed God, and Salome. Campbell’s other big screen credits include: Third World Cop, Wide Sargasso Sea, The Return of Fire, Bloodline, and Fire.
Always conscious of not being boxed into any Hollywood stereotypes, Campbell took control of his own destiny by forming PAR Pictures. His company’s first film, Heart of Summer is a romantic drama in which Campbell deviates from his typical bad guy role that has made him infamous. In his role he plays a staunch Christian father who tries to protect his daughter. His Company’s next project Where Sleeping Dogs Lie, a psychological suspense thriller, will be filmed in Miami and Los Angeles. It’s about a man who justifiably harbors grudges and hate, because of a robbery spree that goes awry when his so called friends turn him in.
Campbell is also an accomplished artist whose paintings have been exhibited in London, England, Kingston, Jamaica, and Lugano, Switzerland. His paintings along with several of his celebrated lines are showcased on his new t-shirt line the PC Collection.
Campbell’s voice can be heard as the narrator for the famous Anancy Stories which can now be downloaded via Anancystories.com. Campbell has also teamed up with Enticin Productions to produce a series of short stories that will be filmed throughout the Caribbean for Worldwide distribution under the Paul Campbell Presents series. In 2010, Campbell will unveil his one man interactive stage show which kicks off in Miami and will embark on an 18 month tour throughout the Caribbean, Europe and the United States.
