David Hampton is the real-life guy the play is based on but the character in SIX DEGREES OF SEPARATION is named Paul.  Courtney B. Vance played the role in the original 1990 Broadway production.   Will Smith played the role in the 1993 film adaptation.

James McDaniel originated Paul when the show was first done at Lincoln Center.
