'''C. I. Paul''' (1944 – 14 December 2005) was a [[Malayalam]] film and television actor.

He was a member of the working party led by [[Joseph Vadakkan|Fr. Vadakkan]] and came to acting through the famous dramas by V. L. Jose. He was well appreciated for his performance in Kalanilayam dramas.<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.malayalamcinema.com/StarPersonalDetails-20/CIPAUL.html?prof_id=454&star_id=454 |title=Archived copy |access-date=5 June 2010 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110714024231/http://www.malayalamcinema.com/StarPersonalDetails-20/CIPAUL.html?prof_id=454&star_id=454 |archive-date=14 July 2011 |url-status=dead }}</ref>

His silver screen break came with ''[[Madatharuvi (film)|Madatharuvi]]'', in which he played the role of Fr Benedict. He acted in around 300 films and several TV serials since then. Paul, who started out as a character actor proved that he could handle comedy and villain roles with equal panache.

C. I. Paul died on 14 December 2005 at [[Thrissur]] due to [[heart failure]]. He was survived by his mother, who died a few years later. His wife had predeceased him and he did not have children.
