Paul Adelstein (born 29 April 1969) is an American actor and screenwriter known for his quietly commanding presence and nuanced performances across television and film. He first rose to prominence as the affable Agent Paul Kellerman in Prison Break, later becoming a household name through his role as Dr. Cooper Freedman on the hit medical drama Private Practice. With appearances in Scandal, The Menu, and Girlfriends’ Guide to Divorce, Adelstein has built a career defined by versatility—seamlessly moving between villain, romantic lead, and emotionally layered support.

Off-screen, Adelstein’s style is understated and classic with a cerebral edge—tailored blazers, dark denim, and thoughtful details that align with his quiet, intellectual persona. His eyewear choices reflect this approach: clean, slightly retro opticals and softly angular sunglasses that suggest character without ever overpowering the look. Think tortoiseshell frames, keyhole bridges, and minimal metal arms. Brands like American Optical and Barton Perreira suit his aesthetic—timeless, thoughtful, and just a bit off-centre. Whether walking the red carpet or tucked behind a script, Paul Adelstein’s glasses are an extension of his craft: smart, subtle, and deeply considered.
