Paul Patrick Rodil Gruenberg or simply called Polo Ravales, born June 27, 1982 in Manila, Philippines, is a Filipino actor and model with German descent.
Ravales' first TV appearance came in 1996 as one of second batch members in the Philippine teen show T.G.I.S. He is a former VIVA contract star along with fellow GMA stars Sunshine Dizon, Dingdong Dantes and among others. A year later, he got a small role in the drama series "Anna Karenina" as Vincent. Then followed by a few more soap series, "Click", "Ang Iibigin Ay Ikaw", and "Hanggang Kailan".
In 2005, Ravales landed his first big role in the hit telefantasya series Encantadia as Hitano, which followed by another successful telefantasya series Majika. He played a brave warrior and then a scheming lover, ably displaying manliness and machismo that heated the television screens.
Ravales has also starred in a number of successful movies in the Philippines, including Room Boy, Blue Moon, and most recently Super Noypi, about six childhood friends discover that their parents are the legendary Super Noypi-the most powerful superheroes in the land.
Aside from his acting career, Ravales is also a model. He's done print ad campaigns and TV commercials for Bench clothing, Ginebra, Coca-Cola, Colgate, and even made it to Cosmopolitan Philippines' 2006 & 2008 Hottest Bachelor List.
When asked what he wants to achieve in his career, Ravales replied, "I want to win the Best Actor Award." He added that his goal in life is to have his own restaurant business someday.
In 2008, he is Patrick Garcia's replacement for the role of Andy Abrigo in Sine Novela: Maging Akin Ka Lamang opposite Nadine Samonte. The role he reprised was originally portrayed by Christopher De Leon and was his biggest break in TV. After this, he joins the casts of Gagambino where he works once again with Dennis Trillo, Nadine Samonte, and Katrina Halili.
