Paul Teal, who died of cancer in November 2024 at the age of 35, plays Pastor Pete in six episodes of Charlotte-shot thriller series "The Hunting Wives," which debuted on Netflix on Monday, July 21.
The Wilmington actor performed in dozens of shows for multiple Wilmington theater companies over the years, including Opera House Theatre Co., Thalian Association Community Theatre and Techmoja Dance and Theater Co., among others.
He also had an active career as a film and TV actor, appearing in Max's "The Staircase," AMC's "The Walking Dead" and Netflix's "Outer Banks," as well as in multiple high-profile, Wilmington-shot productions, including Showtime series "George and Tammy" and the Hallmark Channel's "USS Christmas."
Paul Teal: Heartbroken Wilmington theater community reacts to the sudden death of actor
Teal was best known for appearing in long-running, Wilmington-shot drama "One Tree Hill." During a multi-episode arc in the show's seventh season, which aired in 2010, he played a closeted rock star.
When Teal died in 2024, his passing prompted stories by multiple international news outlets.
"The Hunting Wives" shot its eight episodes in the Charlotte area during the first half of 2024. It's based on a 2021 mystery thriller novel by May Cobb about a young woman from Boston who moves to Texas and becomes involved with a group of married women who like to drink, do drugs, shoot shotguns and have sex with people who aren't their husbands. When a teenage girl is found shot to death, everyone becomes a suspect.
The cast of the show includes Brittany Snow, Malin Akerman, Dermot Mulroney and Jaime Ray Newman.
In addition to Teal, also appearing in the show are former Wilmington actor Jason Davis, as well as Emmett Moss, the young son of former Wilmington actors Cullen and Madison Moss.

Reneé Rapp Says ‘Bite Me' On New Album
Actress-turned-singer Reneé Rapp has been doubling down on her music career since the release of her debut studio album Snow Angel in 2023. Last year, she wrapped up her stint on The Sex Lives of College Girls after a breakout performance in the Mean Girls musical film adaptation. Now, the North Carolina-bred star is back with her sophomore LP, Bite Me. Rapp first gave a taste — or a bite, if you will — of the album with lead single 'Leave Me Alone' in May and followed it up with singles 'Mad' and 'Why Is She Still Here?'' When making the album, she looked to icons like Alanis Morissette and Joan Jett to inform her vision of what it should sound like. While she recorded her last album while juggling long days filming Mean Girls, she was able to hunker down more forcefully for Bite Me, resulting in a finished product she's proud of. 'I tried to be more careful and cognizant of my time spent making this project, not only taking time to make it, but also really controlling what was going on around me,' she told Rolling Stone. 'I started seeking my own approval, which was the biggest difference. And not only did I try to cultivate my own approval, but I was trying to cultivate my own environment.' Though Rapp has been kinder to herself, she still worries if it will translate incorrectly in others' perception of herself. 'My biggest fear is being misunderstood,' she told InStyle. 'I'm a very passionate person. I'm very sensitive. I am protective. I think that sometimes people can construe that as me just being a b***h. I just have very big emotions and I feel very hard. It was really hard to live like that when I was a kid. It was very difficult." The Bite Me Tour kicks off Sept. 23 in Denver and wraps up March 19 in London.

Malin Akerman Loves Playing Dermot Mulroney's TV Wife: He's 'the Heartthrob from 'My Best Friend's Wedding'!' (Exclusive)
The two stars play a power couple with dark secrets in the new Netflix hit 'The Hunting Wives'NEED TO KNOW Malin Akerman tells PEOPLE she was excited to play Dermot Mulroney's wife in Netflix's The Hunting Wives because he's "the heartthrob from My Best Friend's Wedding" Akerman discusses how she and Mulroney approached portraying their characters' complicated dynamic onscreen Akerman also talks about her friendship with costar Brittany SnowMalin Akerman is opening up about her bond with her Hunting Wives costar Dermot Mulroney. In the binge-worthy Netflix drama, the actress, 47, plays socialite Margo Banks, the wife of Mulroney's wealthy oil tycoon Jed Banks. "I love Dermot so much," Akerman tells PEOPLE. "He's one of the loveliest humans. I mean, it's one of those things you go into it, and it's Dermot Mulroney, the heartthrob from My Best Friend's Wedding. He is just an incredible human being." While preparing to film, Akerman says she and Mulroney had "a lot of talks about what" Margo and Jed's complicated dynamic should look like onscreen. Throughout the series, viewers learn that Margo and Jed have an agreement where they can both sleep with other women, but Margo can't sleep with other men. "Margo and Jed are really interesting because at first you just think she's this trophy wife, and she's living the life," Akerman says. "But then, there are some scenes that get pretty complex where we see who is boss. She needs to make sure that she doesn't step on his toes because if she's out, then she's got nothing. It's life or death for her, this relationship with Jed." Akerman says a turning point for Margo in the series is when she tries to give Jed advice as he prepares to run for Texas governor, and he tells her he "doesn't want to listen to her feminist ideals." "You see her kind of shift and go, 'All right, I've overstepped my boundaries,'" Akerman says. "So, she does have boundaries, which is interesting. As long as she's playful and sexy, though, she can stay. So, she's become a master manipulator, and that was really fun to play with Dermot. He's just such a great acting partner. We had a really good time." Along with Mulroney, Akerman also built a deep friendship with her costar Brittany Snow, who plays the new girl in town, Sophie. "We ended up just loving each other so much," she says. "I was so thankful to have her as my partner in crime. We just felt really comfortable with each other." That sense of comfort helped put Akerman and Snow, 39, at ease whenever they had to film their characters' intimate scenes with each other. "They'd call cut, and we'd giggle and we'd be silly together after because you're just like, 'Oh my God, this is crazy,'" Akerman says. "It was just two girlfriends just doing the craziest things and having a blast together." Akerman says she "fell in love" with Margo "at first glance." When she first found out about the project, Akerman — who is married to actor Jack Donnelly and has a 12-year-old son, Sebastian, from a previous relationship — says she got to read "all eight episodes at once." "I got to see her whole arc and see where she begins and where she came from and where she ends up, and it's just such a meaty role," she says. "She's a master manipulator, she's vibrant, she's all these things that are fun to play. There was just so much to work with there. There was no way I could say no to it." The Hunting Wives is streaming now on Netflix. Read the original article on People
