Richard Paul
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Richard Paul (June 6, 1940-December 25, 1998), is an American actor.
He was born in Los Angeles, California. He was able to imitate most American, and many foreign, dialects. He had a legitimate Tenor Voice - vocal training with Lee Sweetland.
Richard Paul was nicknamed "Pige Paul" by Slim Pickens while filming a "The Love Boat" (1977) episode and the local Pigeons anointed a new suit jacket.
He was cast as Dr. Bob Halyers in the "Clean Up Radio Everywhere" (episode # 3.22) of "WKRP in Cincinnati" (1978) because of his resemblance to Jerry Falwell. He even played Falwell in The People vs. Larry Flynt (1996).
Paul played Jerry Falwell twice. Once in "Fall From Grace", the Jim and Tammy Bakker TV-movie bio pic, and then in "The People Vs. Larry Flynt".
He died in Studio City, California due to cancer.
