Paul Koslo Biography

Canadian actor Paul Koslo has made a comfortable living playing indigents and low-lifes. There was always something slightly seedy about Koslo's characters, as indicated by their names: Dutch in Omega Man (1971), Candy in The Drowning Pool (1975), Roy Boy in The Annihilators (1985) and Grimm in Loose Cannons (1990). He was also seen as a frontier mayor in Michael Cimino's Heaven's Gate (1990), and as slovenly doctors and researchers in a handful of horror films. On TV, Paul Koslo played Earl Crowther in the 1979 miniseries Roots: The Next Generation. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi
