Paul Koslo

Lean-faced, intense-looking, German-born, Canada-raised 'Paul Koslo' (qv) was at his busiest during the 1970s, usually playing shifty, untrustworthy and often downright nasty characters. He first broke into films at age 22 in the low-budget _Little White Crimes (1966)_ (qv), and then appeared in a rush of movies taking advantage of his youthful looks, including cult favorites _Vanishing Point (1971)_ (qv) and _The Omega Man (1971)_ (qv), and the western _Joe Kidd (1972)_ (qv), martial arts blaxploitation flick _Cleopatra Jones (1973)_ (qv) and crime thriller _The Stone Killer (1973)_ (qv). After working alongside such stars as 'John Wayne' (qv), 'Clint Eastwood' (qv), 'Walter Matthau' (qv) and 'Charles Bronson' (qv), Koslo's career drifted towards television, and in the 1980s he regularly guest-starred on such TV series as _The Incredible Hulk (1977)_ (qv), _The A-Team (1983)_ (qv), _Matlock (1986)_ (qv), _MacGyver (1985)_ (qv) and _The Fall Guy (1981)_ (qv). Unfortunately, most of his film work in the 1990s and beyond was "straight-to-video" fare, such as _Chained Heat II (1993)_ (qv) and _Inferno (1999)_ (qv). Koslo is well remembered by many as smart-mouthed small-time hood Bobby Kopas, trying to shake down melon grower 'Charles Bronson' (qv) in _Mr. Majestyk (1974)_ (qv).::firehouse44
