An entertainment career was virtually pre-ordained for Paul Montgomery Shore. At age 4, he sat in the lap of the King himself, in the company or his father, comedian Sammy Shore, who opened for Elvis in the early '70's.

Around the same time, Pauly's mother, Mitzi, and father opened The Comedy Store on Holllywood's Sunset Strip, giving their son the rare opportunity to hang out with & be inspired by such rising talents as Robin Williams, David Letterman & the late Sam Kinison, who became his mentor.

At 17, Pauly began writing and performing his own material, creating the persona of "The Weasel", a character that quickly appealed to young audiences.

While playing small roles in such movies as 18 Again & Phantom of the Mall, Pauly honed his comedy routine, gaining the attention of MTV, which gave him his own show in 1990, Totally Pauly. Pauly gained national attention during his 4 year run on MTV, also starring in his 1993 HBO special, Pauly does Dallas. His success in TV led to a 3 movie deal with Disney, beginning with the box-office hit, Encino Man, co-starring Sean Astin & Brenden Fraser.

Pauly followed Encino Man with Son-In-Law, In the Army Now, Jury Duty & Bio-Dome. In 1997 FOX cast him as the freeloading son of a wealthy businessman in the sitcom "Pauly".

In 2003, Pauly produced, wrote, directed & starred in he critically acclaimed, Pauly Shore is Dead, a semi-autobiographical mockumentary in which he satirizes the perils of Hollywood. He called in a lot of favors to get the project made, which includes appearances by Sean Penn, Whoopi Goldberg, Ellen DeGeneres, Dr. Dre, Clint Howard, Perry Farrell, Fred Durst, Verne Troyer, Andy Dick, mark McGrath, Jerry Springer, Montel Williams, Sally Jessy Raphael, Kurt Loder & Paris Hilton.

Pauly starred in the soon to be released studio movie, Opposite Day and produced, directed & starred in "Natural Born Komics", for which he received the 2008 Entertainer of the Year Award from the Entertainment Merchants Association.
