Paul Michael Ramirez, son of George Ramirez and Karen Forster, was born and raised in Denver, Colorado. The youngest of three children, Paul comes from an athletically gifted family. His brother Tony played three seasons of professional football for the Detroit Lions. An athlete in his own right, Paul focused on basketball and was named All-State Colorado his senior year of high school. He would eventually go on to earn a full ride basketball scholarship to Northeastern Junior College.

As a child, Paul’s interests were vast and varied including skateboarding, taekwondo, baseball, basketball, football, and magic. He was met with much success and won several Taekwondo tournaments, earning his black belt by age ten. But it was magic that drew him to “the stage”, performing magic shows for his friends and family. Paul’s passion for entertaining proved unshakeable as he began taking acting classes while still in college. After two years of intensive study, the Colorado native packed his bags and headed to Hollywood to pursue his dream.

Paul found success shortly upon his arrival in Tinseltown, but it wasn’t in acting. After living in Hollywood for only eight short months--and while on one of his very first castings--Paul was plucked from thousands to become Janice Dickinson’s top booking Male model on the first season of the hit television show “The Janice Dickinson Modeling Agency.” Having never modeled before, Paul found the kind of success dreams are made of earning National campaigns for Ed Hardy, Microsoft, 2Xist, Wal-Mart, and Panasonic. Along with the campaigns, Paul’s face could be seen on Billboards along the famed Sunset strip, The Mirage Casino in Las Vegas, as well as STAR magazine and Entertainment Weekly.

Paul parlayed the success of his modeling to the acting world where he has worked on hit shows Hannah Montana, Passions, and The Bold and The Beautiful as well as appearing in numerous independent movies and commercials. In 2008, Paul co-wrote, co-produced and starred in Nickel City Soldiers (Theatrical Trailer), an edgy, crime drama while vividly portraying a gritty, loose cannon drug dealer, unabashedly shedding his ‘Janice Dickinson Model’ image.

Today, he continues his pursuits of acting, modeling, writing and producing. Having now written two feature length screenplays, Paul is now poised to go into production on his first Feature length film…
