Paul King(V)
- Actor
Paul King is an American actor and model born Paul Henry Scheuer on May
13, 1967 in Mount Clemens, Michigan. The only child of Francis Scheuer
and Marilyn Scheuer (née Fisher), his parents divorced when he was six
and he was raised in Los Angeles. When he was eight, his mother married
Tom King, which eventually led to him taking his stepfather's surname
as his professional name. Beginning his professional career as a child
actor in commercials at the age of eleven, King eventually transitioned
to feature film roles, appearing as Steven Bagradian in the historical
drama
Forty Days of Musa Dagh (1982)
and as the spoiled prom-goer in the adventure comedy
Blue de Ville (1986), as
well as a recurring role as teenage heartthrob Eric on the CBS comedy
series
Archie Bunker's Place (1979).
In addition to his film and television credits, King is perhaps best
remembered for his "teen idol" status during the early-mid 1980s,
featured prominently in numerous articles and pinups in such magazines
as 16 Magazine, Teen Beat and Tiger Beat.
