Paul S. Feig (born September 17, 1962) is a director, actor and author.
He is best known for creating the short-lived cult NBC television series Freaks and Geeks (1999-2000), a semi-autobiographical comedy-drama set in a Michigan high school in 1980-1981, and for playing Mr. Eugene Pool during the first season of the sitcom Sabrina, the Teenage Witch. Feig also teamed up with Apatow in Steven Brill's Heavyweights, playing fat camp counselor Tim. He also directed the 2006 antic family comedy Unaccompanied Minors and the 2003 film I Am David. Following the cancellation of Freaks and Geeks, Feig directed Undeclared, created by Freaks and Geeks producer Judd Apatow. Undeclared ran on the FOX Network and, like Freaks and Geeks, was cancelled after just one season.
Feig is currently writing an adapted screenplay with Jerry Spinelli for Spinelli's novel Stargirl. Feig has written two memoirs: Kick Me: Adventures in Adolescence (2002) and Superstud: Or How I Became a 24-Year-Old Virgin (2005). The first details his life as an adolescent "geek" with the second concerning how aspects of his Christian Science upbringing related to that. He is no longer associated with that belief system, and has stated in Kick Me he now considers himself an atheist.
Feig is still active in the television business as a director. He has directed several episodes of the critically acclaimed FOX television sitcom Arrested Development, NBC shows The Office and 30 Rock, Showtime's Weeds and AMC's Mad Men.
In 2005, Paul was a contributing blogger for The Huffington Post.
