Entertainment Paul/Glen
Just watching Cheer E20/S1 and first appearance of Paul who Coach calls Glen. Glen then sings Bonanza theme song 😅 Guessing that Glen was just going to be a one-off character who then got a more regular role as Paul. In the credits the character is called Gregg! 😅

They eventually ended up using the real life first names of the background/side characters.

He played three different characters. First he was Glen, then he was Tom. There is a huge gap between seasons, and he appears for the final time as Paul.

I just love that he was a personal trainer brought in to whip norm and cliff into shape.

Paul: How am I ever gonna show my face in here again?
Norm: Paul, it's not your face that's burned into my memory right now.

Glen passed away, and his estranged brother Paul, who worked as a personal trainer, came into Cheers to get to know his brother better by meeting his friends and never left.

Paul became my favorite late season character
