Paul Christian Scheer (born January 31, 1976) is an American actor, comedian, writer, producer, director, and podcaster.
Scheer is most known as a star of the FX series The League and as the co-creator and one of the stars of the cult MTV sketch series Human Giant alongside Rob Huebel, Aziz Ansari, and Jason Woliner, as well as the Adult Swim comedy-action-parody series NTSF:SD:SUV::. He also co-hosts the popular film discussion podcast How Did This Get Made? alongside Jason Mantzoukas and June Diane Raphael and recurs on the ABC comedy Fresh Off the Boat.
Scheer was born in Huntington, New York. He graduated from St. Anthony's High School (New York) and attended New York University, where he majored in Communication and Education.
Around the summer of 2005, Scheer began collaborating with fellow comedians Rob Huebel and Aziz Ansari as well as director Jason Woliner to make short films. The first video created by the group was 'Shutterbugs, about Huebel and Ansari as cut-throat child talent agents. This was followed by the sketch Illusionators, which starred Ansari and Scheer as Criss Angel-style goth magicians. In mid-2006, MTV gave the green light for a sketch series from the group, called Human Giant, which debuted April 5, 2007.
