	Actors - Paul Bellini

Paul Bellini (born September 12, 1963 in Timmins, Ontario) is a Canadian comedy writer and television actor. He is a sometime exhibitionist appearing in small parts on television shows and films. Bellini is well-known figure in the Canadian television comedy industry due to his work on The Kids in the Hall and This Hour Has 22 Minutes. He has worked on several projects with Josh Levy and Paul DeBoy.

If asked in a respectful manner, Mr. Bellini will allow you to touch him in the manner of the famous "Touch Paul Bellini" sketch from The Kids in the Hall. Bellini never spoke throughout his appearances on The Kids in the Hall until the final episode: after the end credits, during which the cast is buried alive, Bellini approaches their grave, turns to the camera, and intones, "Thank God that's finally over." He picks up a flower on the grave, places it in his mouth flamenco-style, and dances on the grave.

In 1998, Bellini made an autobiographical documentary, Bellini's Drive, which among other things explained what it is like to be the second-most famous person from Timmins (the first being Shania Twain).

He is currently a columnist for Fab, a gay magazine in Toronto.
