Paul Carr was a warm, funny guy with a deadpan sense of humor. An impressive actor, he had a lot of cult movies to his credit, like BEN, THE SEVERED ARM & BAT PEOPLE. Paul was good-natured about it("I have done a ton of theater and Pirandello, but you want to hear about THE SEVERED ARM?!?") and had great stories about his work.
He worked with the Incredible Hulk and the late Claudia Jennings, co-starred in EXECUTIVE ACTION(*Considered the smartest JFK conspiracy movie). A great man with a great family. His memorial service was much like Paul himself; smart, warm, funny and touching.
