About Pauly Shore
Paul Montgomery Shore (born February 1, 1968) is an American comedian and actor. He is best known for his performances in 1990s comedy films. Shore began as a stand-up comedian at the age of 17, before becoming an MTV VJ in 1989. This led to a starring role in the comedy film Encino Man in 1992, which was a modest hit, and he followed this with leading man roles, including Son in Law (1993), In the Army Now (1994) and Bio-Dome (1996).
Shore was born in Beverly Hills, California, the son of comedian Sammy Shore and Mitzi Shore, who co-founded The Comedy Store with Rudy De Luca. He made his stand-up debut at the Alley Cat Bistro in Culver City, was mentored by Sam Kinison, and cultivated an alter ego persona called "The Weasel". His big break came as an on-air MTV VJ, a position he held from 1989 to 1994, during which he had his own show, Totally Pauly.
Shore provided the voice of Robert "Bobby" Zimuruski in A Goofy Movie (1995) and its direct-to-video sequel, An Extremely Goofy Movie (2000). In 2003, he produced, wrote, directed and starred in Pauly Shore Is Dead, a semi-autobiographical mockumentary film. In January 2024, following a fan campaign, Shore revealed a teaser for a short film, starring himself as Richard Simmons, titled The Court Jester.
