Adrian Paul Biography
Born: May 29, 1959
As ruggedly handsome as the men on the cover of romance novels, Adrian Paul is a television heartthrob to legions of swooning fans.

His first role was as a ballet dancer on the TV series The Colbys. After playing Prospero in The Masque of the Red Death, he briefly joined the casts of both the '90s revival of Dark_Shadows and War of the Worlds. As the star of The_Highlander TV series from 1992 to 1997, he also reprised the role in the movies Highlander:_The_Gathering and Highlander:_Endgame. After the series was canceled, he had starring roles in the feature-length thrillers Dead_Men_Can't_Dance, Susan's_Plan, Convergence, and The_Breed. Returning to the fantasy-action genre, he played Sir Lancelot in the 2000 U.K. production of Merlin:_The_Return.
