There is a dimension beyond that which is known to non-PC owners. It is a dimension as vast as television and as timeless as film-making. It is the middle ground between keyboard and monitor, between pixel and megabyte, and it lies between the pit of fans' fantasies, and the summit of their adoration and respect. This is the dimension of cyberspace. It is an area which we call...*

Currently appearing in the WB's "One Tree Hill" as Dan Scott, Paul's been around both the big and small screens for over fifteen years. Some fans are new, some fans have been watching him develop for years, and all are welcome here to encourage him, to admire him, to highlight his work past, present, and future -- but most of all, Paul Johansson's fans are welcome to gather here to share one common interest (Paul Johansson, of course), and along the way have a few good times making lifelong cyber-friends.

There's a lot more to Paul Johansson than Nick Wolfe, or Austin Peale, or Dan Scott, you know.  Especially if you've visited the MARVELOUS "Not-So-Official Paul Johansson Page" documenting *almost* his entire career through delicious photos and interviews. But he's also a lot more than "just an actor". In the area of the *Official Site*, you'll read in his biography he was an English Literature graduate and even now has set his sights on writing and directing films. Since "Conversations in Limbo", Paul went on to write and direct "The Incredible Mrs. Ritchie", which this year won three Emmy's.

Paul Johansson's star is definitely on the rise.  Fan support at this particular moment in time can only help to enrich his life.  And ours.  So here we are folks!  "The Fans" -- showing how much we care, hoping our support encourages a very talented and well-deserving, likeable kinda guy...

A PERSONAL WELCOME
FROM PAUL
In June of 1987, with forty dollars in my pocket (I didn't own a wallet), I came to Los Angeles to pursue an acting career. I am right now sitting in my office at the computer trying to remember what it was exactly that made me want this life. I remember Steve McQueen was asked the same question. "For the girls" he said. Although it's not a bad reason, it's not it. I never grew up wanting to be an actor.  In fact, it had never even crossed my mind until a friend towed me along to an audition. I sat in the lobby and waited for him. When all the producers and the director came out of the room they started talking and milling about and in a few minutes I was offered the job. I laughed and walked out the door with my friend. I thought they were having me on. Regardless, it is safe to say, shortly thereafter, acting became an obsession. I dedicated much of my adult life to the pursuance of a vastly different life than I had ever envisioned for myself.. It is twelve years later and I have no regrets. My desires have evolved and broadened into different facets of the entertainment industry.  I attribute much of this to the changes in myself personally. Has it been easy? We'll talk. I've watched a lot of friends die in this town (death takes on many forms) and I do consider myself lucky. I do also recognize that I am responsible for creating and capitalizing on some of that luck. But I am competitive only with myself.  I recognize my time here is not a constant. It is a truth. A time. And it too will pass. So I will celebrate it. With you if you like. Being here, you have decided to share part of the journey and I welcome you.

Paul
