Paul Herman Biography – Paul Herman Wiki
Paul Herman was an American actor from Brooklyn, New York. He is known for playing Randy in David O. Russell’s dramedy (drama and comedy) Silver Linings Playbook (2012) and Whispers DiTullio in Martin Scorsese’s crime epic The Irishman (2019). He started his acting career in 1982 in Dear Mr. Wonderful, with Joe Pesci and Karen Ludwig. Throughout the ’80s he then appeared in films such as Easy Money, The Cotton Club, The Purple Rose of Cairo, and Radio Days. On television, the actor had roles in Spencer: For Hire, Miami Vice, and The Equalizer, before taking on the role of club owner Peter “Beansie” Gaeta in The Sopranos. Herman went on to play Marvin — the exceptionally tolerant accountant to megastar Vince Chase (Adrian Grenier) — in HBO’s Entourage from 2004 to 2010.
His other appearances in movies include Once Upon a Time in America, At Close Range, We Own the Night, Heat, Crazy Heart, Quick Change, Sleepers, Cop Land, The Fan, Analyze That, The Day Trippers, and American Hustle. He had a recurring role on The Sopranos as Peter “Beansie” Gaeta, as well as in another HBO series, Entourage, as Vincent Chase’s accountant, Marvin.
Herman also played minor background characters in two other Scorsese crime films. In Goodfellas, he was The Pittsburgh Connection, and in the montage sequence ‘Back Home, Years Ago’ in Scorsese’s Casino, he was a gambler who rushes to the phone booth to place the same bet that Sam Rothstein (Robert De Niro) did. In 2009’s Crazy Heart, he played the manager of Jeff Bridges’ character. He was the recipient of several acting accolades including a Screen Actors Guild award for the ensemble cast of American Hustle and a New York Film Critics recognition for the cast of Silver Linings Playbook.
Herman, along with his brother Charlie, ran the Columbus Cafe in the 1990s. Located across from Lincoln Center, it was frequented by actors, ballet dancers, gangsters, and FBI and DEA agents.
