Paul Teal gained recognition for his seven-episode role as Josh on ‘One Tree Hill’. His character’s storyline included pursuing Alex, played by Jana Kramer, before revealing his true identity as a gay man.
Bethany Joy Lenz, Teal’s One Tree Hill co-star and director, took to her Instagram account to share an emotional post for her friend as she recalled their first meeting during a 2006 theater production of The Notebook.
“I worked closely with Paul for months when he played Noah in my and @ronaniello musical production of The Notebook in 2006. He was shy and funny and so so comfortable on stage. Wow. Like his second skin. You couldn’t take your eyes off him. Later, I was giddy to be directing an episode of One Tree Hill where I’d get to cast a new recurring character, Josh- the sleazy movie star. With his self-effacing sense of humor and willingness to dive fully into any character, Paul was perfect for the part. He was a joy to work with in any environment and so generous,” a part of her post read.
