Beloved actor Paul Dooley dressed up as a clown and juggled his way out of a hardscrabble rural West Virginia childhood and onto the Broadway stage opposite Walter Matthau, and later played “Wimpy” in Robert Altman’s classic film, Popeye.  On the way, he performed comedy in New York’s Greenwich Village Vanguard and watched Lenny Bruce get his start. He sat in on several Sid Caesar’s Your Show of Shows and later filmed his own memorable comedy stunts on Candid Camera. Paul was an early member of The Second City group and worked with many legends from Buster Keaton to Art Carney.

While known by millions as America’s most lovable screen dad, Paul was having his own real dad issues from his own father to his kids.
