Born in Milan, Italy, Paolo Seganti (1965) used the boxing ring as a surrogate stage, winning the Italian Amateur Championship within six months and continuing fighting and acting (theatre) on and off for 5 years. It was in the boxing ring that he was discovered by a fashion photographer.
He went on to launch a career as a print and runway model, working with renowned photographers such as Bruce Weber, Jean-Paul Goude, Peter Lindbergh, Jean-Baptiste Mondino, supermodels Cindy Crawford and Linda Evangelista and designers including Calvin Klein, Versace and Yves Saint Laurent.

Paolo began working extensively on the New York stage receiving critical acclaim and sell-out audiences for his lead roles in EQUUS and the self-directed WHOSE LIFE IS IT ANYWAY which immediately alerted Hollywood to his potential. Paolo heralded his film debut with Woody Allen's EVERYONE SAYS I LOVE YOU, quickly followed by Johnny Stompanato in Curtis Hanson's multi-award winner LA CONFIDENTIAL, the independent feature STILL BREATHING co-starring opposite Brendan Fraser, and Franco Zefferelli's TEA WITH MUSSOLINI alongside Cher, Judi Dench and Joan Plowright.
