Bethany Joy Lenz had invited him to join The Scott Brothers
The general public mainly saw him in season 7 of The Scott Brothers in 2010. He played Josh, a sleazy movie star, in seven episodes. It was actress Bethany Joy Lenz, aka Haley James Scott in the series, who recruited him, since she had directed the first episode in which Paul Teal appeared. Her choice fell on him since she had already been able to admire his talents in the musical The Notebook which she co-wrote in 2006. On Instagram, the actress expressed her deep sorrow: “My heart is so heavy. Paul Teal was the kind of guy who lit up a room effortlessly. His bright smile, his infectious laugh and his kind heart made you want to be close to him. (…) I worked closely with him for months. He was shy, funny and so, so comfortable on stage. Wow. It was like his second skin. He attracted everyone's attention. (…) It was a pleasure to work with him We stayed in touch at times. I would have liked more often. If only I had called him all those times I wanted to. Life is short. (…) He was too young to die. Much too young. I am devastated. (…) I will miss you, Paul. Thank you for sharing your light with us“.
