Early Life
Paul, (Pioneerpauly), Larouche was born and raised in Victoria, British Columbia. He attended local schools until part way through the eighth grade when Paul started experiencing panic attacks with no apparent explanation or cause. These panic attacks forced Paul to begin home schooling, as the anxiety led to agorophobia and eating disorders. After several years of therapy, meditation and medications, Paul eats properly and thrives while continuing to combat his anxiety.

Paul Larouche's acting career began with an appearance, in the background of, The Perfect Pickup. Since that appearance, Paul has been seen in television programs such as Abby, The Flash, The 100, Shooter, When We Rise, Prison Break, Supergirl, Lucifer, Mid Summer Nightmare, and Wayward Pines as well as on the big screen in War for the Planet of the Apes.
