| Occupation | Actor |
Paul Michael Robinson (born April 7, 1963) is an American actor, photographer, producer and model. He is most well known for playing the sexually inexperienced, alien leader Haffron from the classic Emmanuelle in Space. He is well known in direct-to-video action films including Maximum Security, Active Stealth, and The Capitol Conspiracy.
Early life
Paul was born in Long Beach, California. He served in the United States Army and was stationed at Fort Stewart, GA. He was in the 3rd Battalion, 15th Infantry specializing in communications. He was out before Desert Storm. After the military he had a friend take photographs of him to help him break into the film business.
Emmanuelle in Space
Paul was cast as the lead opposite Krista Allen in the erotic epic Emmanuelle in Space. The role enabled him to show that he had quite a presence as an actor and comedian. It also allowed him to showcase his physical attributes and beauty. Emmanuelle in Space remains one of the pioneering softcore films and continues to find new audiences and fans.
Justine
The success of Emmanuelle in Space brought Paul back to Alain Siritzky Productions to be showcased in their newest epic The Adventures of Justine. Paul played Klauss Heinmann, Timothy Di Pri's nemesis. The series was not as well received as the Emmanuelle in Space series, but did offer Paul the chance to play a very different role.
Television
In 1996, Paul was cast as Carl O'Donnell on the ill-fated and short-lived soap opera, "The Guilt" opposite Marisa Coughlan and George Hamilton.
He then appeared in the first season of Sabrina the Teenage Witch (TV Series). Paul played a speedo-wearing pool-boy sent to tempt title character.
Partnership with Fred Olen Ray
After his brief stint on television, Paul was cast as Alex in erotic thriller, Friend of the Family 2. The film was in the same vein as The Hand That Rocks the Cradle and Fatal Attraction. Paul played Alex, a man who carries on with an unstable woman only to return home to find her the live-in nanny of his newborn and his wife's confidante.
Friend of the Family 2 marked the first partnership of Paul and movie director/producer Fred Olen Ray. Olen Ray has said that Paul is "kind of a quiet guy."
Paul's professionalism allowed him to make four more films with Olen Ray. The sophomore attempt being his action film debut, Maximum Security which allowed Paul his first ever chance to headline the film. He was the only actor to have his name appear above the title.
He then did three more direct-to-video action movies and thrillers. 1999's The Capitol Conspiracy opposite Don "The Dragon" Wilson, 2000's Active Stealth opposite Daniel Baldwin, and 2001's Kept opposite Christian Oliver.
Producer and Photography
Late 2004 marked a turning point in Paul's career where he took on the role of Executive Producer on an upcoming independent film Trees Grow Tall and Then They Fall. It was filmed in 2005 and is available with Netflix.
The film was released through Cricket Feet, a production company started by casting director and author Bonnie Gillespie. Paul, always having an eye for photography was also one of her featured industry photographers in her "How-to" Books about the Entertainment Industry. Paul also did all the promotional photography for the release of the film.
The film gave Paul the chance to go where he hadn't before. He played the role of Roy, a good looking arborist who becomes mentally handicapped after a tree fell. Paul brought honesty and pathos to a role with very little dialogue.
Recent Works
Paul has worked in mainstream Hollywood films as well. His credits include BASEketball and TMNT.
He also starred in the vampire action movie, Revamped directed by and also starring his Friend of the Family 2 co-star Jeff Rector.
He recently wrapped production on Head, Heart and Balls...or Why I Gave Up Smoking Put? co-starring Adam Carolla.
