Lean-faced, intense-looking, German-born, Canada-raised Paul Koslo 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), and then appeared in a rush of movies taking advantage of his youthful looks, including cult favorites Vanishing Point (1971) and The Omega Man (1971), and the western Joe Kidd (1972), martial arts blaxploitation flick Cleopatra Jones (1973) and crime thriller The Stone Killer (1973). After working alongside such stars as John Wayne, Clint Eastwood, Walter Matthau and Charles Bronson, Koslo's career drifted towards television, and in the 1980s he regularly guest-starred on such TV series as The Incredible Hulk (1978), The A-Team (1983), Matlock (1986), MacGyver (1985) and The Fall Guy (1981). Unfortunately, most of his film work in the 1990s and beyond was "straight-to-video" fare, such as Chained Heat 2 (1993) and Inferno (1999). Koslo is well remembered by many as smart-mouthed small-time hood Bobby Kopas, trying to shake down melon grower Charles Bronson in Mr. Majestyk (1974).- Actor

Born in humble surroundings in Provatonas, a small village near the town of Alexandroupoli in northern Greece, on August 3, 1959, Stefanos Miltsakakis shot to fame fighting Jean-Claude Van Damme in five Hollywood movies. He was raised in an environment where children grew up fighting and wrestling. In 1973, he moved to the United States with his family, none of whom could speak English. They settled in a studio apartment, shared with another Greek family in Charlotte, North Carolina. He later described how as a teenager he was subject to ostracism due to his background and struggled to integrate himself with the local youth.
After getting into trouble, the high school free-fighting trainer encouraged him to join the school team. He won a scholarship for the State University of North Carolina and became a fighter for the All-Americans team. In 1984, at age 24, he was selected for the Greek team at the Olympics that year, but a knee injury just before the event forced him to abandon his Olympic dreams. This forced him to consider the idea of working in the world of cinema. In 1989 he got a small role in the film Cyborg (1989) by Albert Pyun, in which he had the chance to work with Jean-Claude Van Damme. He moved to Los Angeles and began a career of small character parts, especially in martial arts films, opposite van Damme in several movies.
But Miltsakakis was also a great fighter in real life, with his 220 lbs and 100kg. On September 27, 1999, he took part in the 9th Vale Tudo World Championship during which he won against Judoka Joe Charles in 8.38 minutes, recording a personal record. In 2002 he participated in the 14th Vale Tudo, where he won against Mariano Mendoza gaining a 2-0-0 record. He was also a world champion in Pagration, an ancient Greek sport combining wrestling with boxing. After his retirement in 2011 he set up a gym in Venice, California.
Miltsakakis died on January 10, 2019, aged 59, in his sleep in Santa Monica, California. He was interred in Greece next to his father.- Actress
