Paul Melendy
Supporting Actor - Waiter

Paul Melendy is a native of North Andover, MA and a current resident of Salem, MA. It was at the age of ten during an evening of skits with his Cub Scout pack that he decided he wanted to become a performer, and he has never looked back. 

Since graduating with his BFA from Salem State University, he has been proud to call himself a Boston-based actor. While his first love is theatre, Paul also works extensively in commercials, film, industrials, and web spots, and he has recently begun modeling. He works closely with Boston Casting, C.P. Casting, and Christine Wyse Casting. 

When he’s not onstage or onscreen, you’ll probably find him working on a NYT crossword puzzle, watching a movie, or competing in nerd trivia at his favorite local pizza joint.
