Roderick Paulate (born April 4, 1960) is a Filipino actor, TV host, comedian and politician.
Paulate started his career as a child actor. He received his first Best Child Actor award from the Manila Film Festival for the movie Kasalanan Kaya in 1968. His first FAMAS award was for Anghel na Walang Langit in 1970.
Paulate’s first foray in gay roles was in 1979 when he appeared in Maryo J. De Los Reyes' High School Circa ’65. A producer then gave him the lead role in Charot, a movie inspired by Dustin Hoffman's gender-bending performance in Tootsie. His movie Inday Inday sa Balitaw was a huge success, that in 1987 he made four gay movies in a span of eight months: Jack en Poy, Bb. Tsuperman, Kumander Gringa, and 1+1=12+1. Paulate continued to play gay roles in movies and television. Paulate' influenced Vice Ganda, Allan K, and Paolo Ballesteros.

In 1996, Paulate was named Best Actor in Drama at the Asian Television Awards, and again in 2000, for his role in the Maalaala Mo Kaya episode "Wristwatch".
Kuya Dick is also inducted to the Philippines Eastwood City Walk Of Fame in 2012 for contributing his acting, singing, hosting and also being a comedian.
Paulate was elected as councillor for Quezon City's 2nd District in 2010. Paulate was removed from office by the Office of the Ombudsman as councilor of Quezon City because of ghost employees. He was barred to run for any public office.
