After the role in the latter flick, Paul hadn't scored any big movie again but he became the producer of two of his movies “The Death and Life of Bobby Z” (2006) and “Bottom's Up” (2006). Finally, together with Anthony Hopkins as Ernest Hemingway and Meg Ryan as Mary Hemingway, his career was expected to reach its peak when he appeared in “Papa” (2006). Upon reading the offer he knew right away that he should do it. “It's not about working anymore, its about doing work I can be proud of.”
