Fox's Season 2 description of Paul in Dollhouse:

Former FBI Agent PAUL BALLARD (Tahmoh Penikett) determined to solve the mystery of the DOLLHOUSE and find the missing Caroline, accomplished his goal in the first season finale and was convinced (or was it coerced?) to become Echo’s new handler. DOLLHOUSE revolves around Echo’s blossoming self-awareness and her desire to discover her true identity. But with each new engagement, comes a new memory and increased danger inside and outside the Dollhouse.

Statement from Tahmoh supporting the charity Caleb's Hope:

"I'm so proud to be involved with Caleb's Hope, a project that's not only giving these children and their families real hope but more importantly empowering and enabling them to change their lives for the better. I commend Holly, for developing and seeing this project through. It's an inspiration for all of us to do more."
