Born and raised in Los Angeles, Paul Marco planned on being an actor his whole life, taking dancing, singing and drama lessons in high school and later appearing in little theater productions. His work was brought to the attention of TV prognosticator Criswell, who predicted on his TV show that Marco would go far in the picture business. A show biz friend introduced Marco to Criswell an d later to producer-director Edward D. Wood, Jr., who made Marco part of his "entourage" and cast him in several of his movies (as the bumbling "Kelton the Cop"). In latter years, Marco has worked as a property man on many movies. Today he keeps busy with autograph show appearances (he is the founder of his own fan club).
