His wife, Dee Dee, was by his side in Indiana Monday morning when he passed away from natural causes.

Paul’s acting credits include such films as Goodfellas, Nixon, Dick Tracy, The Rocketeer, For the Love of Money, That Championship Season, Reds, A Touch of Class and Oh, God! among many others. On television he starred on Seasons 2 and 3 of Law & Order and on Broadway in That Championship Season.
