Paul Brennan @paulwilliambrennan
​
has been performing since 1958, changing his identity in 1994 from the name Telly Savalas, and moved to Chicago in 2015, joining Prop Thtr a year later. While looking for a new family, he saw the Uploose Odditorium had applications for another black sheep, and he fit right in. In his spare time, he makes short films, one of which has been shown in Austin, TX, Poland, Romania, and Prop Thtr! He also sings, shimmies, writes therapeutic poetry, plays a therapeutic tin whistle, feeds his cat, and writes film criticism (and criticism of things in general). He’s not very good at making bouillabaisse, though. He'd like to thank every misfit in this gang for loving him just the way he is, after the extensive makeover.
