Fans of fantastic movies will remember him as the survivor who saves Charlton Heston in “The Last Man Alive.” But Paul Koslo has appeared as a secondary in a hundred titles. The actor died on January 9, 2019, at the age of 74, due to pancreatic cancer, at his residence in Lake Hughes (California), according to his wife, the also interpreter Allaire Paterson Koslo.

Born June 27, 1944, in Germany, Manfred Koslowski (his real name) in Germany, his family moved to Canada when he was six years old. In the 70s he began to appear, almost always as a villain, in numerous television series.

He met his wife, Allaire Paterson, when he produced the stage monologue in which she starred, “Purple Breast,” which was a huge critical and popular success, in Los Angeles. They married in 1997 and had a daughter.
