Paul Koslo

 ( 1944 Births ) 

Koslo studied at West Vancouver Secondary School before attending the National Theatre School of Canada on a Ford Foundation Scholarship, but left after a year.

He and fellow Omega Man co-star Anthony Zerbe also appeared in Rooster Cogburn (1975). After a solid supporting part as a Jewish concentration camp survivor in the critically acclaimed Voyage of the Damned (1976), as well as the mayor in Heaven's Gate (1980), he began a long run of portraying villainous types in productions such as and The Glitter Dome. In rare, in-depth interviews with both Psychotronic Video and Shock Cinema (issue No. 14) magazines, Koslo spoke about his experiences working in several films with Charles Bronson and in The Omega Man with Heston.

Starting in the late 1970s, Koslo appeared (usually as a villain) in a string of television shows such as The Rockford Files, , Barnaby Jones, The Incredible Hulk, Quincy, M.E., Buck Rogers in the 25th Century, T. J. Hooker, The A-Team, The Fall Guy, Dallas and Hunter. In the Highway to Heaven episode "The Torch" he played a leader of the American Nazi Party. Koslo found it tough to deliver his character's often bigotry-riddled dialogue, and during the filming of a scene set at a Nazi rally the cast and crew were heckled by passers-by, since the scene was filmed on location in downtown Los Angeles with decorating the outside of a building. Event occurs at 19:35–20:47. He also appeared as Jesse James in The Dukes of Hazzard seventh-season episode "Go West, Young Dukes".

In the 1980s, along with television appearances, he appeared in several independent action films (most of them straight-to-video). He was also in Loose Cannons (1990) and appeared as the Russian battle-robot pilot Alexander in the science fiction film Robot Jox (1990).

Paul Koslo lived in Vasquez Rocks, CA and was also the owner of the Red Rock Inn.

Koslo died on 9 January 2019, from pancreatic cancer at the age of 74.
