My Dad, a small-town lawyer, was also named Paul. Until we lost him when I was 16, he was a gentle presence in my life. I like to think he’d be proud of me and my sister and brothers, because I’m sure proud of him and of where I come from, Janesville, Wisconsin.
I had written a tune called ‘Shake, Rattle and Roll,’ but the white stations refused to play it – they thought it was low-class black music. We thought what we needed was a new name. But a white disc jockey named Alan Freed laid on it, and he thought up the name ‘rock n’ roll.’
For those of you that don’t know, the reason I named my album ‘Free TC’ is because my lil’ brother is named TC.

When I was told that I was doing a movie called ‘Lola Rennt,’ I was like, ‘What?’ I didn’t get it, or the title. I started reading the script, and I still couldn’t fathom that it was about a person named Lola running. Before my agent explained it to me, I couldn’t even make any sense out of it.

As a Middle Eastern male, I know there’s certain things I’m not supposed to say on an airplane in the U.S., right?

The Sherry Theater, which I named after my mom, is a place I can go. I do want to give back to the community. There are so many people out there who want to be seen and heard, and get connected.
I found this deer toy that poops out candy. And so if I say, ‘Cree, you have to go to bed right now. You will get a candy.’ We’ve named the pooping deer ‘Gus.’… He gets a jelly bean. And it works.

I’m an actor and I’ve created a lasting and memorable character named Frasier, who is not me, but who most people think is. So when I have a chance to play something that’s different, I embrace it because it’s fun; also in this case, he’s a memorable character.

I am honored to be named the 2018 Walter Payton NFL Man of the Year and to join the long line of men who have received this prestigious honor.

I have two main bass guitars, and my main bass is a four-string 1964 Fender Jazz, and I’ve named it Justine.
