Narrated by: Paul Cram

Paul Cram is an American actor who performs in indie films and narrates short stories & the occasional audio book as time allows. His latest film role is in “Tuscaloosa” which had him as the lovable mental patient, Earl, which brought him alongside one of the women from the hit show “Stanger Things”. Keep an eye out for that film. Paul credits the library as the starting point for his acting career, so it’s no surprise that he spends a lot of time there still researching roles; but even more important to Paul is that since 2013 he has been volunteering at his local library reading with people who speak english-as-a-second-language.When not on a movie set, recording booth, or at the library- Paul can be found deep-frying chicken wings & cream cheese wontons with his older sister, or arguing about pop culture with his brother around one of the 10,000 lakes of Minnesota.  You can find Paul online at www.PaulCramActor.com.
