“My heart is heavy. Paul Teal was the kind of guy who lit up a room without trying. His bright smile, infectious laugh and kind heart made you want to be near him. 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.”
She also mentioned how she met Paul again on the sets of One Tree Hill, saying she felt “Paul was perfect for the part.” Bethany then described her bond with the actor and wrote:
“Now at 35, he’s taken another train. He was too young to die. Far too young. I’m gutted. Paul, your time here was like a summer romance for all of us who knew you, especially if only for a season. Bursting, exciting, deeply moving, and unforgettable.”
Born in 1989 in Wilmington, North Carolina, Paul Teal was also known for many other TV shows and movies like Deep Water, Fear Street: Part Two, Outer Banks, The Walking Dead: World Beyond, American Rust, The Staircase, and even George & Tammy.
