Paul McMichael was born as Michael Gallant in West Covina, California, USA. He started his acting career, at the age of seven in 1982, acting in various plays, in Monrovia, California. Later on that same year, he enjoyed the acting bug, so, he decided to try film and TV, along with several other cast members of the playhouse, such as Alitzah he was then working a lot in TV and film.

Throughout his career, he would land the roles of the child of the principal actors.

He later sought out acting lessons, from well-respected teachers, such as Ann Eldridge and June Chandler. There, he fine-tuned his acting skills, started to develop comedic writing and excelled in improvisation.

During his teen years, he was greatly inspired by The Beatles, specifically, Paul McCartney (for whom, he modeled his stage name), and took up learning the guitar and bass. He was then cast as "the guitar player" in many movies and television shows.

While not acting, McMichael has played the role of "Paul McCartney" in various Los Angles-based Beatle tribute bands, including "Imagine", "BackBeat" and the band he formed on his own, "Apple Scruffs" (formerly known as "The WannaBeatles"). He also performs in an original group based in LA called "The Give". Occasionally, he works as a session musician and has recorded and played with the likes of "Blind Pony", featuring Tony Award-winning actor, Kent Klineman
