David Paul

David Paul, born on March 8, 1957, and died on March 6, 2020, was an American actor and bodybuilder. He and his twin brother Peter were born in Hartford, Connecticut, and grew up in Rhode Island. The fraternal twins were high school wrestlers and bodybuilders who opened a gym in Narragansett, Rhode Island, in the 1970s and moved to California in 1979 to try to break into show business, as the bodybuilders-turned-actors Arnold Schwarzenegger and Lou Ferrigno had done. Together they were known as The Barbarian Brothers and as The World's Strongest Twins, and their public strength feats included 500-pound reverse-grip bench presses by David. In 1982 they were featured in Powerlifting USA, Muscle and Fitness and an eight-page Sports Illustrated article.
