Today, we celebrate the 38th birthday of Paul Walter Hauser, a versatile actor who has made a lasting impression in Hollywood with his talent and unforgettable performances. Born on October 15, 1986, Hauser has risen to prominence for his ability to take on both comedic and dramatic roles with equal ease. His big break came with his portrayal of Shawn Eckhardt in the critically acclaimed I, Tonya (2017), where he demonstrated his knack for capturing complex, real-life characters. This performance paved the way for more high-profile roles, such as his standout lead in Richard Jewell (2019), directed by Clint Eastwood. For his portrayal of Jewell, Hauser earned widespread praise, further cementing his place as a serious actor in Hollywood.
Beyond these roles, Hauser has appeared in a number of high-profile projects, including BlackKklansman (2018) and Cruella (2021), showcasing his range from intense dramas to lighter, more whimsical fare. His performance in Richard Jewell garnered him several award nominations, including a Critics’ Choice Movie Award, and opened the door to even more exciting opportunities, such as his role in Apple TV+’s series Black Bird (2022).
But acting isn’t his only passion. Outside of Hollywood, Hauser has another arena where he shines—professional wrestling. As an avid fan of wrestling from a young age, Hauser has taken his love for the sport to the next level by competing professionally in wrestling matches, bringing his larger-than-life personality to the ring. His appearances have earned him a unique spot among celebrity wrestlers, blending his love of performance with physical competition.
As Paul Walter Hauser turns 38, his career continues to soar in both acting and wrestling, and we look forward to seeing where his talents take him next. Happy Birthday, Paul!
