About Paul Dooley

Paul Dooley: The Comedic Genius Who Made Us Laugh

Paul Dooley is a man of many talents. Born on February 22, 1928, in West Virginia, he has made a name for himself as an actor, writer, and comedian. He has appeared in over 100 films and television shows, and his unique brand of humor has made him a beloved figure in the entertainment industry.

Dooley's career began in the 1950s, when he started performing stand-up comedy in New York City. He quickly gained a following and was soon appearing on television shows like The Steve Allen Show and The Ed Sullivan Show. In the 1960s, he began writing for television, working on shows like The Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour and The Electric Company.

Dooley's big break came in 1970, when he was cast in the film version of the hit Broadway musical, "The Odd Couple." He played the role of Speed, one of Oscar Madison's poker buddies, and his performance was a hit with audiences. He went on to appear in a number of other films, including "A Wedding," "Breaking Away," and "Sixteen Candles."

In addition to his work in film and television, Dooley has also had a successful career as a voice actor. He has lent his voice to a number of animated films and television shows, including "The Adventures of Jimmy Neutron: Boy Genius," "Cars," and "The Wild."

Throughout his career, Dooley has remained true to his comedic roots. His humor is often described as dry and understated, and he has a talent for finding the humor in everyday situations. He has said that his goal as a comedian is to make people laugh and forget their troubles, if only for a little while.

At 93 years old, Dooley shows no signs of slowing down. He continues to work in the entertainment industry, and his contributions to comedy have earned him a place in the hearts of fans around the world.
