[edit] Career
Koslo started his career in such 1970's cult films as Nam's Angels a.k.a. The Losers, (referenced in Quentin Tarantino's Pulp Fiction), Mr. Majestyk, Vanishing Point, Joe Kidd and The Stone Killer. He also appeared opposite Charlton Heston in the SF cult-classic, The Omega Man in an unusually sympathetic co-starring role. After a solid supporting part as a Jewish concentration camp survivor in the critically acclaimed Voyage of the Damned, as well as the mayor in Heaven's Gate, he began a long run of portraying villainous types in productions such as Roots: The Next Generations, The Ransom,[1] Love and Bullets and The Glitter Dome.
In rare, in-depth interviews with both Psychotronic Video and Shock Cinema (issue #14) magazines, Koslo spoke (mostly unfavorably) 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, Quincy, M.E., Buck Rogers in the 25th Century, T. J. Hooker, The A-Team, The Fall Guy, Dallas and Hunter. More recently, along with television appearances, he has been in several independent action films (most of them straight-to-video). He was also in Loose Cannons (1990) with Gene Hackman and Dan Aykroyd and appeared as the Russian battle-robot pilot Alexander in the cult science fiction film Robot Jox (1990).
[edit] Personal life
Koslo met his wife, Allaire Paterson-Koslo, at The MET Theatre in Hollywood, when he produced a one-woman show, Purple Breasts, a critically acclaimed play she co-wrote and starred in. They married in 1997 and have one child together.
