Wikipedia Profile

Paul Reynolds (born 6th February 1970 in Wanstead, Essex UK) is an English actor. He attended the Sylvia Young Theatre School, made his start as a child actor in a variety of small parts, but is perhaps most recognised for his role as Thatcherite Colin Matthews in Press Gang.

On the big screen, Reynolds played Christopher Craig opposite Christopher Eccleston's Derek Bentley in Let Him Have It.

In later years, Reynolds made a brief appearance as "Squeak" in 1995 and 1998 in Absolutely Fabulous alongside Julia Sawalha, his Press Gang co-star.

From May 1999 he was heard in the BBC World Service radio drama Westway playing Fizza, an old friend of Denny's who had spent some time in prison.

IMDB Profile

Paul Reynolds made his start as a child actor in a variety of small parts, but became most recognized for his role as "Colin Matthews" on the BAFTA award winning hit English program, "Press Gang" (1989). Portraying "Colin Matthews", a character who needs no introduction, and usually received little on the show, Paul gathered a semi-cult following among fans of the show. On the big screen, Paul celebrated the satisfying success of Let Him Have It (1991) where he starred opposite the by-no-means-small British star Christopher Eccleston. Giving off a wonderful performance as a disturbed youth, Paul showed us that "Colin"'s limitations ("He can't really understand anything that can't be expressed as money" - a perfect description of "Colin", as told by 'Lynda Day') in no way reflected on his boundaries as an actor - boundaries that have yet to be made. With his sarcastic grin, and wily eyebrows, Paul Reynolds has made his mark on the world of entertainment.
