I am an actor.

I am a musician.

I am the groundskeeper at Sonora Academy in Arizona.

Obviously, the first two don't pay the bills very well yet, but I'm getting closer to making my big break. I was an extra in a soap opera this past summer, and I've got a regular saturday night gig in Las Vegas as a magician.

Seriously, I'm a wizard, so pulling off magic tricks is a snap (or a swish). It's a shock more magical folks don't go into muggle show biz. I've only been arrested twice for muggle exposure to magic and both times I was able to talk my way out of it so it not really illegal.

Family

I am Paul Simon Tellerman. I was born in California, raised in California, and educated in California. I am a proud member of the California Pierce tribe, though I'm one of the few who doesn't actually live and work with the family group. Working renfaires isn't going to get me into Hollywood.

My father is Harvey Tellerman. He's a folk-singer/politician who has the dual honors of losing the latest Presidential Election (he ran for the Integration with Muggles party) and being the self-proclaimed best banjo player in California.

My mother is Tina Tellerman. She works as a fortune teller most of the time, which means she hasn't an ounce of True Sight. She met my father because she's a near squib and he's a complete squib (or possibly a muggle, it's hard to tell in my family) and they were both at some kind of Alternatives to Magical Careers symposium thing that Dad was talking at. She found herself a husband and an alternative career that weekend. She's not the only squib or near squib to marry into the family. We collect a lot of them, seeing as how we're sort of halfway between the muggle and magical worlds.

I've got one brother, a kid named Neil Diamond Tellerman who's over ten years younger than me. Like most of our generation, he was named after a sixies musical artist. Of all of us, he got the short straw on names. He will not volunteer his middle name for anything short of physical torture. Neil's a total activist. He's gonna follow Dad into politics.

Auntie Gina (Regina Pierce) is the tribe matriarch. She's older than dirt and paralyzed from the waist down but I have never met a scarier woman in my life. Fortunately, she likes me.

The last relative I'll mention here is Saul Pierce. He's not particularly closely related to me, and in fact I think I've got closer relatives in the New Hampshire branch, but he goes to the same school I work at, so he deserves an honorable mention. Besides, of all the kids in the family, I think he's the most likely to follow me into acting.

No wife, no girlfriend, and no kids, though I came close to the last two in Days of Our Lives where my character managed to get one of the regulars pregnant before being summarily mugged and killed. That was my longest television role to date, lasting six episodes.
