Biography
Paolo is first introduced to Rachel by Rupert, letting Rachel know Paolo would be Nick Arnstein. Paolo and Rachel rehearse the song You Are Woman, I Am Man, but Rachel feels uncomfortable when Paolo starts inappropriately touching her.

Rachel eventually realizes that talking to Paolo is all for not, and he touches her inappropriately once more before she leaves rehearsal for the day. Rachel later confides in Puck about Paolo's behavior but makes him promise that he won't tell Finn.

Finn eventually finds out the truth, and he along with Puck, Santana and Kurt threaten Paolo. Paolo reminds Finn he can end Rachel's career if she doesn't do as she asks, as he is powerful in this situation.

Paolo realizes Rachel's friends will be an issue, so he twists a story to Rupert that Rachel was being inappropriate towards him during rehearsal. Rupert is left no choice but to fire Rachel.

Finn, Rachel and Puck eventually get Rachel her job back when they go undercover to get into the theater where Funny Girl will be held. Paolo recognizes Rachel, Finn and Puck and exposes them to Rupert.

However, Finn and Puck show proof that Paolo had not only touched Rachel but also threatened her job just moments prior to Rupert finding out their ruse. Rupert then fires Paolo, and has Finn and Puck kick Rupert out of the theater. He is then blackballed from Broadway with no chance of landing another job elsewhere.

Finn is later given Paolo's role of Nick Arnstein in Funny Girl.
