Jake Joseph Paul (born January 17, 1997) is an American actor and internet personality who rose to internet fame on the now-defunct video application Vine. Paul portrays Dirk on the Disney Channel comedy series Bizaardvark.

Career

Paul began his career in September 2013 posting videos on Vine. In 2015, it was announced that Jake would be starring as Dirk, alongside Olivia Rodrigo and Madison Hu in Disney Channel's new sitcom Bizaardvark.[1] As of 2016, he has starred in a variety of other independent films as well. On January 17, 2017, it was reported Paul had launched TeamDom with $1 million in financing to create Influencer marketing management and creative agency around teen entertainment.[2] Investors include Danhua Capital, Horizons Alpha, Vayner Capital, Sound Ventures & A-Grade Investments, and Adam Zeplain.[3]

White House breach

On January 5, 2017, Paul hid in the bathroom of the Eisenhower Executive Office Building in Washington DC after attending a Social Media Event at the White House.[4] Paul was able to spend several hours hidden in the bathroom before leaving in the early morning hours unseen and unobserved. Paul filmed the entire stunt for his YouTube Vlog Channel.[5] The Secret Service tracked Paul down at his home in Los Angeles and later deemed him a non-threat.[6]
