Quoted from the programme notes of The Elephant Man wherein Paul played the role of Lord John and understudied Kevin Smith as John Merrick: 'Paul du Toit completed his BA Drama (Honours) at Stellenbosch University in 1996. He was a Fleur du Cap Award nominee in 1996 (most promising student). In 1997 Paul played Cleomenes in The Winter's Tale and Jack in Into the Woods, both for CAPAB. Later he was cast as the lead in Pieter Toerien's production of Doowah Boys 2. In 1998 he was a Vita Award Nominee (Best Actor) for another Pieter Toerien Production, Old Wicked Songs.'
