Storyline Summary: "Third Watch" is a TV drama set at the 55th Precinct Fire and Police Department of NYC. In three episodes, "Sleeping Dogs Lie", "Blessed and Bewildered" and "No More, Forever", Paul plays a recurring guest role as Captain Jack Steeper a veteran firefighter tired of sitting behind a desk , "a by the book" Captain where rules are rules and they will be followed till the last "T" is crossed. He makes his entry at the firehouse as any good Captain would, blending in in the beginning of the first episode. He informs Lt. Doherty that he is being transferred to a more intense rescue unit in Brooklyn effective today and that he, Capt. Steeper is now the Captain of the 55th FD. After their first call to a fire, while sitting at their dinner table in the firehouse, Doc calls the Capt. "Steeper the Reaper" and lets him know that he knows exactly why he is here.. to close down the firehouse. Insisting that he is not, Capt. Steeper and Doc show the early signs of discontent with each other.

The next episode, "Blessed and Bewildered", Capt. Steeper informs Kim, lead paramedic, that the paramedics will be assigned to fixed points outside of the firehouse and will only be able to use the firehouse for changing in and out of uniform. Tensions continue to mount in the house with all the changes he is demanding to get the FD back into a house with rules. As the days progress so does the tension and exasperation.

In the third part, "No More, Forever", meanwhile, Doc is silently suffering from post traumatic stress syndrome from September 11th. Determined to not let Steeper close the fire house, he steals a gun from a police officer at party that he gave the night before. An hour late for work, he shows up in his dress blues, informs Kim that he's not going out on the street today and, as the Capt. approaches him, he shoots him in the abdomen. Held at gun point, none of the crew is able to assist the wounded Captain. Doc wants the Captain to know what 15minutes feels like when you need help. Despite the pleas to assist by the crew, Doc continues to torment Steeper as he lay bleeding out on the floor of the firehouse explaining that "actions have consequences". Steeper try's to explain to Doc that he is not closing the house and that he wanted to get back in the field as he is tired of only doing paper work. When Carlos returns to the station, excitement stirs as he try's to approach the Captain. Doc tells Carlos he has 11 minutes left and pushes Carlos away from the him. Finally, unable to stand it, Carlos risks his life to attend to the Captains needs even as Doc shoots in the air to warn him against it. Kim and the others soon join Carlos in aiding Steeper who is still insisting in a pained, breathless manner that he is not closing. Doc begins to fall apart as he no longer has control of the situation and his plan is now ruined by their aiding the Captain before 15minutes is up. Meanwhile the SWAT team tries to take down Doc through a window when Sully (NYPD) rushes in and warns him. Carlos and Kim are now able to stabilize Capt. Steeper and rush him out into an ambulance. As he is taken to the hospital, Steeper is rambling on about all the funerals he attended after Sept. 11th, families he didn't know because he had been out of the field and that the numbers didn't match. He finally loses consciousness as he is comforted by his own acknowledgement that he "didn't die behind a desk". Fortunately, Steeper will recover. (Maybe next season we will see Capt. Steeper return?)

"The title of episode "No More Forever" is taken from a famous quote by Chief Joseph about the Nez Percé surrender in 1877: "Hear me," he said to the white commander. "I am tired. My heart is sick and sad. Our chiefs are dead; the little children are freezing. My people have no blankets, no food. From where the sun stands, I will fight no more forever." Paul's performance was well worth the wait. He really makes Capt. Steeper stick out as a grumpy, by the books veteran commander. You can feel the tension rise in the firehouse when he arrives and begins implementing his changes for a house that follows the rules at all times. And, Paul, whether emotionally or physically wounded, always gives a marvelously passionate portrayal. It is very moving and tears at your heart and soul. You can't help but feel deeply for his character, even if Capt. Steeper is a bit crusty.

Thanks Paul for a wonderful chance to see you perform in front of the camera again. We anxiously await for more.

Something's Gotta Give (2004)

Storyline Summary: "Something's Gotta Give" is a delightful romantic comedy. Starring Diane Keaton as the beautiful, self-aware woman and famous play write, Erica Barry. Jack Nicholson plays Harry Sanborn, a 63 year-old rich music executive, incapable of finding a meaningful relationship with women closer to his age. He plans on spending a romantic conquest weekend dating Erica's daughter, 20-something Marin (Amanda Peet) at Erica's summer house when he suffers a heart attack. Paul plays Dave Klein, a play director and Erica's ex-husband and assistant. Complicating matters for Erica is the fact that Dave suddenly remarries a woman younger than their daughter. Paul gives a great supporting cast performance in his albeit too short a role. The film becomes a love triangle between Diane, Jack Nicholson and Keanu Reeves (Julian Mercer, Harry Sanborn's doctor). Mercer, a huge fan of all Erica and her plays, becomes smitten with her while treating Harry in the hospital ( very funny series of scenes, btw). Erica winds up caring for Harry in her home, an adventure that slowly turns into the two of them breaking down their barriers, getting to know each other and discovering their similarities.. all of which, of course leads them to love (the blood pressure scene is hysterical). Harry recuperates and leaves. Six months later, while at dinner with Marin, Dave and his fiance, she sees Harry with a young woman. She cries "this is what heart broken looks like"while grabbing his arms after confronting him outside the restaurant before retreating to her home. Using all this experience, she writes a fabulous play for Dave to direct! (The crying scenes are incredibly sad, heartbreaking, and comical all at the same time. Only Diane Keaton could achieve that!)

Over a period of months Harry realizes that Erica is like no other woman he has ever known. He loves her. He calls on all his ex-young flames who one by one slam the door in his face. Harry finally realizes that there is more to a woman than youthful beauty as he, too, discovers love and real companionship for the first time. He visits Marin, now married and pregnant and is told that Erica is in Paris. Remembering that on Ericia's birthday that she would celebrate in Paris (an old plan to meet him there at a restaurant), he goes there expecting to proclaim his love for her. Matters are complicated though when he arrives and she is being proposed to by Dr. Julian Mercer. Well, she gets all confused, the triangle of love now all in one room. Julian can see the love she still has for Harry and tells her to go see him. In the end, she and Harry have the right chemistry and who can fight that!

And Never Let her Go. (2001- TV)

Falling For Thomas Capano was her first mistake. Trying to leave him would be her last. This is the true story of a woman's suspicious disappearance after ending an affair with a powerful, married attorney. Capano was convicted in early 1999 of the killing of mistress Anne Marie Fahey. The murderer is popular Delaware attorney, Tom Capano and the victim is the Delaware Governor's Scheduling Secretary, Anne Marie Fahey. Their relationship was a well-kept secret until her disappearance and murder. She tried to leave him but he just wouldn't let her go . He also had a mistress, a wife and four daughters.   Wilmington police detective Frank Gugliatta (Paul Michael Glaser) leads the investigation, which attracts national attention when Gov. Carper asks President Clinton for help. If it weren't for the relentless pursuit by this detective, Capano (Mark Harmon) would have gotten away with a brutal murder. Gugliatta and the rest of the team meticulously paste the case together with predominantly circumstantial evidence including Anne Marie's diary entries, the stories from relatives and friends of Anne Marie and unscrupulous detailed detective work. As evidence mounts, Capano's secret life is revealed and he is arrested in connection with Fahey's murder (her body was never found).Paul's performance was, of course, excellent for which he received wonderful reviews. Mark Harmon was nominated for and won an Emmy for his performance.
