Paulino Nunes

 
 

Paulino Nunes has established himself as a versatile and talented actor over the past 15 years appearing in film, television and stage productions in over 100 different roles.  While his early career saw a great deal of theatrical work, his focus has been on screen projects of late.


He has worked with a diverse array of directors such as Jim Sheridan, John McTiernan, Peter Bogdanovich, Mario Azzopardi, David Wellington, Joe Carnahan, Ken Finkleman and Uwe Boll while sharing the screen with such talented actors as Susan Sarandon, Jason Isaacs, Forest Whitaker, Michael Madsen, Ving Rhames and Ally Sheedy among many, many others.


Paulino’s versatility has earned him a reputation as one of the busiest and most dependable actors in the country, displaying tenacity and intelligence while playing the requisite ‘cops and lawyers’ but also revealing a tender, gentle nature in less conventional roles.  What’s more, his ability to find the contradictions in each of those characters keeps his services in high demand.


Most recently, Paulino appeared onscreen in the popular and critically acclaimed BBC miniseries ‘State Within’ directed by Daniel Percival.  Upcoming projects include co-starring in Norstar’s new 4 hour miniseries ‘Would Be Kings’ directed by David Wellington and Uwe Boll’s feature film ‘Postal’, an outrageous satire in the tradition of ‘Team America: World Police’.


Paulino is currently shooting ‘ZOS: Zone of Separation’ marking his second project with Whizbang films, his first being a cameo role opposite Tom Skerrit’s U.S. President in the upcoming miniseries ‘H2O: The Trojan Horse’.


Although media work has occupied most of his time lately, Paulino first distinguished himself in live theatre and has found enough time to step on stage in the past few years and win rave reviews for a diverse selection of roles from Shakespeare to Kenneth Lonergan.  His flexibility has always been evident in the wide array of styles he has essayed; classical to naturalistic to movement-based to clown.
