King of Christmas

Actor, Musician, and the “King of Christmas” Paul Greene, who with over 11 holiday films under his belt, has two starring roles in flicks this year – Great American Family’s I’M GLAD IT’S CHRISTMAS (just premiered last Saturday, November 26th) and the CBS/ Paramount+ film FIT FOR CHRISTMAS (this Sunday, December 4th premiere). Well known for his many TV shows, rom-com movies, and the portrayal of ‘Dr. Carson Shepherd’ for five seasons on the hit Hallmark Channel series “When Calls the Heart”, strikingly handsome and charming Greene is ready to bring on the cheer and celebrations this holiday season! Recently premiering on Great American Family, I’M GLAD IT’S CHRISTMAS follows an aspiring singer (Jessica Lowndes) who meets a handsome jingle writer (Paul Greene) – but will her professional success come at the cost of her chance at love? The film also stars acclaimed “Empress of Soul” Gladys Knight who reunites with former Motown chief and award-winning writer-producer Suzanne de Passe. Also on the docket is the new holiday film FIT FOR CHRISTMAS which will premiere on Sunday, December 4th on CBS and Paramount+. The holiday tale follows ‘Audrey’ (Amanda Kloots of THE TALK), an enthusiastic Christmas-obsessed fitness instructor teaching classes at her beloved, financially beleaguered community center in quaint Mistletoe, Mont. She begins a holiday romance with a charming, mysterious businessman (Paul Greene), complicating his plans to turn the center into a more financially profitable resort property.

Born in Wetaskiwin, Alberta, Canada, Greene was raised on a farm and learned first-hand the importance of faith, hard work, and family. Scouted from college, Greene started his modelling career at age 18 and immediately became a huge success, having booked a national Levi’s commercial within his first week of modelling. He spent most of his 20’s splitting his time modeling in NYC, Paris, London, Milan, and Japan walking for Dolce & Gabbana, Armani, Tommy Hilfiger, and hundreds more. After Greene’s first son was born, his deep love of acting directed him to move to Los Angeles, where he continued to book commercials and garnered success as a series regular and guest star in more than 55 projects to date, including “NCIS,” “CSI,” “The Newsroom,” “Girlfriends’ Guide to Divorce,” and “Bitten” to name a few. Musically, Paul has released two albums to date – “Freedom For Your Soul” and “Long Way Home,” featuring his original songs.
