Editor’s Note:  Do you remember when we first met Paul, here?  His latest film, “Land Ho!” has been picked up by Sony for distribution.

And Now, For The Good News

“Toasts are given and glasses clinked, everyone just floating on air, semi-delirious from sleep deprivation but focused on just how great this whole thankless business can be when you work your ass off and do things right. Eenhoorn, who earlier in the day was feeding off a feeling of vindication, is now just exuberant, discussing everything from ideas he has for his own directorial efforts to, at one point, giving his best impression of Al Pacino reciting “Twinkle Twinkle Little Star.”
The gruff, singsong impression is actually not half-bad. He’s all smiles tonight, optimistic about his future and glad, he says, that he stuck it out in this business.
Christina Jennings, one of the producers on the film, opens up about her pending decision to move to Iceland; never before has she felt such a spiritual connection with a piece of land, she says.
The movie has really changed everyone’s lives.”  – Paul Eenhoorn (written on Facebook)

The Sundance Springboard: Indiewire Picks 10 Actors to Watch in Park City

Paul plays Martin Bonner in this hot new Sundance entry.

Paul Eenhoorn (“This Is Martin Bonner”)

Why You May Know Him: Seattle based Australian actor Paul Eenhoorn has been making a name for himself in his city’s filmmaking industry for the better part of the past decade, after trying to make a break for it in his native country. He’s likely best known for playing the villain, Mr. Daniels, in the family comedy “Max Rules” which was voted by audiences as the top U.S. film at the 2004 Seattle International Film Festival. Eenhoorn may also be recognised by video gamers for modelling as the face for “Half-Life 2″‘s Arne Magnusson.

What Sundance Could Mean For Him: A whole lot. As the oldest actor on this list, Eenhoorn may very well be the middle-aged breakout of this year’s festival thanks to his grounded turn in the affecting indie, “This Is Martin Bonner.” In the drama, he plays the titular character; a man who leaves his old life behind and relocates to Reno, where he finds work helping released prisoners transition to life on the outside, while trying his hand at speed dating and passing time as a soccer referee on weekends.

What’s Next: Eenhoorn told Indiewire that he recently got cast in “The Dead Men,” a “small indie film that’s going to shoot out in the desert in California, about a journalist who gets taken hostage in Iraq.”
