GOODBYE, PAUL KOSLO...


You were a character actor for all character actors to learn from and aspire to be, Mr. Koslo: cool, creepy and kind. 


You especially shined in pulpy, hard-hitting cinema, covering the bases to an exhausting extent: "Nam's Angels/the Losers"; "Love and Bullets"; "The Stone Killer"; "Mr. Majestyk"; "Joe Kidd"; "Rooster Cogburn"; "Cleopatra Jones"; "Freebie and the Bean"; "The Drowning Pool"; "The Annihilators"; "Bootleggers"; "Inferno '99"; "Vanishing Point '71"; "Loose Cannons"; and the ominous "Omega Man".


You also made your way through a slew of television series, including "The Incredible Hulk"; "The Fall Guy"; "The A-Team"; "Galactica 1980"; "Buck Rogers in the 25th Century"; "Mission: Impossible"; "The Dukes of Hazzard"; "Longstreet"; "T.J. Hooker"; "Quincy" and "Hunter".


To many (myself included), your stand-out role came as the mad, Russian antagonist, Alexander in the cult classic, "Robot Jox". Man, you should have won an Oscar for that!!!

Without question, your varied personas and stupendous skills will inspire whatever exciting sectors you may now roam. As for our terrestrial realm, you left an incomparable legacy, to be relished for years to come.
