Paul Dinello (born November 28, 1962) is an American actor, writer, director, and an alumnus of Chicago-based The Second City, Improv Institute, and Annoyance Theatre. He is best known for his role on Comedy Central's "Strangers with Candy" as Geoffrey Jellineck, the closeted gay art teacher at Flatpoint High, who carries on a not-so-secret relationship with his colleague Chuck Noblet (Stephen Colbert). Dinello dated the show's star, Amy Sedaris, for eight years after they met at Second City.

In 2003 Dinello co-authored the novel "Wigfield" with Sedaris and Colbert, which they promoted by creating a traveling play.

Most recently, Dinello has made guest appearances on Colbert's show "The Colbert Report" as Tad, the building manager. The character is often berated by Colbert, who forces him to do dangerous things. Dinello has made at least five appearances on "The Colbert Report", including a tumbling act with Colbert and their "Strangers" costar Sedaris in July 2006.

Dinello was also a writer, producer and director for the "Strangers with Candy" film, which was released in July 2006. [ [http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/10004363-strangers_with_candy Strangers With Candy Movie Reviews, Pictures - Rotten Tomatoes ] ]

He was one of the main cast in the show "Exit 57", also starring Sedaris and Colbert. He also appeared as Mr. Rooney in the film "Be Kind Rewind", alongside Jack Black and Mos Def.

Also directed the Nickelodeon original movie featuring his fellow Strangers with Candy co-star Amy Sedaris.
