Paul Jeffrey Vandervort (born February 5, 1985) is an American businessman, and a former actor, film producer, and model.

Vandervort first appeared on the hit reality television series "The Janice Dickinson Modeling Agency" during season 4. He is known on the modeling front, most notably for landing an international modeling campaign for Abercrombie & Fitch in 2008 at age 22. While still living in Colorado, he was flown to Montauk, New York by Abercrombie, along with several other notable models, to shoot the campaign with world-renowned photographer Bruce Weber.

Upon completion of his television series in late 2008, Vandervort lived in a house with other actors, and he proceeded to book acting roles on Disney's Hannah Montana, Nickelodeon's iCarly, NBC's Parenthood, and after receiving network approval from Disney, he was booked for a recurring role on Disney XD's television pilot, "Billion Dollar Freshman".

Vandervort wrote his first screenplay for a short film, Hollywood Miles, that he filmed in the Hollywood Hills in April 2014. Although he opted not to release the film, he took the experience he gained, formed his own production company, and began producing and also directing independent film and new media projects.

Paul made his first full-length feature film, "Limelight^[1][2]", a screenplay written by Vandervort that he also starred in. The movie filmed in Los Angeles and Bel Air in Summer 2015 and Worldwide sales rights for Limelight were acquired by Taylor & Dodge and the movie was officially released in 2018 on Amazon Prime, iTunes, Google Play, and others distributed by Freestyle Digital Media.

Vandervort was hand-selected to be one of the original featured content creators via a specialized "master class" for the U.S. social media app Musical-ly which was rapidly gaining users, just as it was setting up to merge with the popular, global social media app TikTok. In addition to obtaining world class social media training and support, Paul created content with (and for) many other top creators, and he currently has over 400,000 followers on his verified TikTok account (@paul).

As an avid surfer and former martial artist, Paul has a love for staying active and especially outdoors.

During the Covid-19 pandemic, Vandervort decided to dissolve his entertainment company and relocate to Newport Beach. There he completed his Associate of Science degree with Honors in Business Administration at Coastline College.^[3] He then transferred to Fowler College of Business at San Diego State University to complete his Bachelor of Science in Business Administration.

Vandervort deleted his public instagram account in 2020, which at the time, had over 25,000 followers. He is a business owner focused on venture capital, finance, and real estate.
