Other appearances include Shempy the Vampire on Buffy the Vampire Slayer, the waiter who follows Helen Hunt across the dance floor in As Good As It Gets and with his wife Jackie Harris Greenberg, the Porno Gil episode Curb Your Enthusiasm. Paul has continued creating and starring in projects including the comedy series, International Ghost Investigators: Hollywood Division for DirecTV and co-created with Joey McIntyre, the sitcom Return of the Mac for PopTV . Paul's work as host writer for Neil Patrick Harris has earned him Emmy and Writer's Guild Awards. Paul has also done extensive voice work for some of televisions most popular animated shows, such as Jimmy Neutron, Invader Zim and most recently, the Japanese animated series, Yo Kai Watch, where he played over 15 characters. Paul lives in Los Angeles with his wife, comedic actress, Jackie Harris Greenberg, and their son Donovan.
