From award winning and critically acclaimed director, Mitsuyo Miyazaki:
"Paul's quiet confidence both in the audition and on the set confirmed my choice for him in the role of Luciano in Midnight Las Vegas. His sense of humor and consideration for all the members of my crew made it a pleasure to work with him. I look forward to our next project together."
From award winning director Keith Mosher:
“Balding... Ok bald. Only annoying most of the time...but seriously, working with Paul Campanella is always a great pleasure for me. He is always prepared, and always works hard to bring the character to life that I have in my head. He is on the top of my list whenever I cast for a new project and I look forward to working with him for many years to come. Simply put…a professional, on every level."
