Paul emigrated from Moscow, Russia (then in the Soviet Union).[1][2] Kogan has two younger siblings; a sister, Sasha (born March 1997) and a brother, Leo (born May 2006).

Before starring in Joshua, Kogan was a regular on the comedy series, Wonder Showzen. He had a supporting role in Lifelines by writer/director Rob Margolies.
