Paul Franklin Dano, better known to us as Paul Dano, was born in June 1984 in New York. In the artist's family, no one is associated with the art world. My father was in business, and for this reason the family often changed their place of residence.

Paul Dano and his younger sister Sarah spent their childhood in New York, but then the family moved to Connecticut. Here in New Canaan, Paul and Sarah continued to attend school. But the brother and sister had to complete their secondary education in the third school, which was located, although in that state, but in a different city - Wilton.

After receiving a diploma in secondary education, Dano returned to the city of childhood - New York. The young man, whose height was 185 cm, entered the famous Eugene Lang College, which operates at the New School of the Liberal Arts.

Paul Dano's passion for theater appeared early. At the age of 10, the boy went to the casting of one of the Broadway theaters. At the age of 12, Paul made his debut in the play "Heir to the Wind". The production featured prominent actors such as George S. Scott and Charles Durning. The skill of the artists made a huge impression on the young actor, forcing him to seriously think about the future in the profession.

Paul Dano's cinematic biography began when the young man was barely 17. At first, these were tiny episodes in the comedy "Smart Guy". But after 2 years, in 2000, Paul was entrusted with a prominent role in a feature film. It was the family drama "Newbies". The hero Joel performed by Dano instantly brought the novice actor to the top of popularity. After The Newcomers, Paul Dano was offered the lead roles.

In 2001, the actor appeared on the screen in the dark drama "Lies". The young man played the troubled teenager Howie Blitzer from Long Island. This image required comprehension and subtle psychology. The guy who got confused about what is evil and what is good, who suffers from family troubles, engaged in theft, Paul played organically.

The next major success of the actor was his work in the adventure film "Little Miss Happiness". This film was recognized as a masterpiece immediately after its premiere in January 2006. The film was even nominated for an Oscar in the Best Picture of the Year category. Paul Dano's performance has been recognized by critics and audiences as impeccable.

2007 gave Dano a new victory. Paul Thomas Anderson's painting "Oil" brought the young artist a BAFTA nomination. But, unfortunately, Paul Dano was bypassed by his colleague in the cinematographic workshop Javier Bardem by half a step. Nevertheless, after the premiere of this drama, everyone started talking about Paul. The publications wrote that "the appearance of Paul Dano in the frame, like a discharge of electricity, makes the picture dazzling." Other reviews were in the same vein.

It is noteworthy that a young and popular artist often appears in low-budget and independent projects. In those that are most often chosen by "untwisted" beginners. Although with such fame, Paul Dano can choose the main roles from the "star" directors of our time. The artist himself explains this behavior by the fact that he prefers to work with directors whose projects interested him. At the same time, the main goal for an actor is not to get rich as soon as possible, but to improve professionalism.

Another notable work from the latest projects of Paul Dano is the painting "Love and Mercy" 2014 release. This is a biographical project by William Polad about Brian Douglas Wilson, an American musician and founder of The Beach Boys. Paul Dano played one of the main roles in this film.

In 2016, the actor's filmography was supplemented with work in the tragicomedy "The Swiss Knife Man", where Daniel Radcliffe became Paul Jeannot's partner.

Under the direction of the artist, the first came out the picture "Giant", in which Paul played the main role of the salesman of the mattress store Brian Weathersby, adopting a Chinese boy. Zooey Deschanel became the artist's partner in the project. Four years later, with the participation of Dano as a producer, the films "For Ellen" and "Ruby Sparks" were released, where Paul reappeared in the main cast.

Russian viewers were able to appreciate the professionalism and skill of the American film star by themselves, having seen the picture of Tom Harper "War and Peace". This is another adaptation of the unforgettable novel by Leo Tolstoy. One can argue about how close the hero Pierre Bezukhov, played by Paul Dano, is to the image that the classic painted, but it is impossible to argue about the presence of talent in the young actor.

Paul Dano's personal life is a romantic relationship with actress Zoe Kazan, who became the actor's girlfriend in 2007. Young people often appear together at social events, photos with Paul and Zoe often appear on the pages of glossy publications. But so far, young people do not talk about the wedding and children.

Now the actor is trying himself in a new role. In 2017, Paul Dano started his own project "Wild Life", for which the artist wrote the script and began work as a director.
