Here’s a great interview that Paul recently did for Media Blvd Magazine.  In it he gives a real nice shout out to The Invisible Man and its fans. 

He, also, talks about his new movie Should’ve Been Romeo.  After years of development, it’s great to hear that Paul has secured financing for the movie, so it’s a go!  Awesome!

Paul Ties the Knot!

Some of you may have already heard this news, but for those of you who haven’t, you may be happy to know that on July 5, Paul Ben-Victor married Julie Austin Felder!  

I would have gotten this notice up earlier, however, I’ve been having ongoing computer problems.  But I want to thank Julie Ben-Victor, BB Fenix of Pure PR Associates, and Marc Bennett for being so gracious and allowing me to share the following pictures and video with all of you.

The wedding took place at a Los Angeles yacht club under a large white tent.  Most of the guests wore white.  It was a beautiful setting.  There were so many wonderful pictures to choose from that I had a hard time deciding which ones to pick, but I can only post a few so, first up, here are the happy couple.  Don’t they make a lovely pair?

Here are Paul and Julie lip-syncing to their own pre-recorded voices.  What fun!

 

Not surprisingly, there were several celebrities in attendance, but since this blog focuses on the I-Man cast, there is one in particular that I know all of you are interested in:  Vincent Ventresca.  Check out the photos!
