Paul Edwin McGill III is an American actor, choreographer and director for stage, film, and television.
McGill made his Broadway debut when he was just a junior in high school in the 2004 revival of "La Cage aux Folles" (which won two Tony Awards). He was cast on the spot and replanted in New York that week. There, he attended the Professional Performing Arts School.
He then went on to play Mark in the Broadway revival of "A Chorus Line" for the entire run of the show at the Schoenfeld Theater. The cast performed on Good Morning America, the Tony Awards, and Dancing with the Stars, and most notably, the documentary Every Little Step.
During this time, McGill made his film debut in the BAFTA and Academy Award winning documentary Man On Wire, where he played Philippe Petit in the reenactments.
Shortly after the "A Chorus Line" closed, McGill moved to Los Angeles to star in the MGM remake of Fame (2009 film). He played Kevin, opposite Bebe Neuwirth. Their conversation causes his character to attempt suicide by stepping in front of a subway car. Later, Kevin tells Joy (Anna Maria Perez de Tagle) that he is moving back to Iowa, and that he is going to be "the best god damn dance teacher there ever was."
McGill then performed in the 2010 Tony Award winning musical, "Memphis", which is available on DVD.
From there, he performed in the controversial Broadway spectacular, "Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark", playing Spider-Man, as well as Electro, Swarm, and the Lizard.
McGill then performed and was in the original cast recording of Woody Allen and Susan Stroman's, "Bullets Over Broadway".
His final performance was the "Bombshell" concert based on the fictitious musical on Smash produced by Craig Zadan and Neil Meron benefitting the Actors' Fund.
