Paul Hipp (born July 16, 1963) is an American actor, singer, songwriter and filmmaker.
Paul Hipp was born in Philadelphia. Hipp left Pennsylvania for New York City immediately after high school, starting his career playing guitar and singing for tips on the streets of Greenwich Village while studying acting with legendary acting coach Mira Rostova and at HB Studio with William Hickey.
Paul soon found employment as a musician at various clubs in the Village. At the same time he started landing roles on TV shows and commercials. He made his New York stage debut in the off-broadway show “Rockabilly Road” at The West Bank Theater.
New York filmmaker Abel Ferrara spotted Hipp during one of his shows on Bleeker Street and asked Paul to audition for the Role of Nino Valacci in his upcoming film China Girl, Hipp landed the role and a decades long collaboration was born as he became a mainstay in Ferrara’s core group of actors that includes Christopher Walken, Harvey Keitel and Willem Dafoe. It was during filming of “China Girl” in Little Italy that Hipp wrote the song “Midnight For You” that would be used as the films end credit theme song and mark his first published track.
