Paul Wilkins is a UK-born actor with extensive experience spanning the West End, international tours, and national broadcast. Originally from Hampshire, he trained at ArtsEd (BA Hons) before launching his career in the 30th Anniversary production of Cameron Mackintosh’s Les Misérables in London’s West End. After six months in the ensemble, he was offered the lead role of Marius on the Asian tour (Manila, Singapore, Dubai), later returning to London to reprise the role for a further 18 months.

From the world’s longest-running musical to brand-new productions, Paul has participated in development workshops for a range of new work including Ann Duck written by Cush Jumbo for the National Theatre, Anna & The Sting, and Lady M. He also originated the role of Reggie in the WWI musical The Dreamers, which he developed from workshop to album, and finally to a full-scale production at the world-famous Abbey Road Studios. Shortly after, Paul went from WWI to Vietnam, playing Claude Bukowski in the 50th Anniversary UK Tour of Hair!

Paul now works between London and Cork in Ireland, having recently graduated with a First Class Honours MA in Music from the Cork School of Music. He continues to work across both stage and screen, with Irish credits including Juan in 1588: The Musical (Workshop/Concert), the national ‘Your Vote Is Your Voice’ advertising campaign, Cinderella at Cork Opera House, and Movies & Musicals Live with the RTÉ Concert Orchestra at the Bord Gáis Energy Theatre.
