Paul W. Ehlers, a towering figure standing at an impressive 6 feet 5 inches, was born on November 2, 1949, in the vibrant city of New York. As a young boy, Ehlers spent his formative years creating his own unique brand of entertainment, producing super 8 movies alongside his friend Kenny, and indulging in his artistic side by drawing monstrous creatures and crafting comics.
As he grew older, Ehlers' creative endeavors only intensified, culminating in a standout performance as the menacing and brutal backwoods lunatic, Madman Marz, in the cult classic low-budget slasher film "Madman". Initially hired to illustrate the poster art for the picture, Ehlers' impressive display of on-screen ferocity ultimately led to him being cast in the titular role, replacing the original actor who failed to meet expectations.
In more recent years, Ehlers has lent his talents to a variety of projects, including providing the opening narration for the documentary "The PsychoLegacy" and bringing Dr. Jeckyll to life in the horror comedy short "Caesar and Otto meet Dracula's Lawyer". As the proud father of filmmaker Jonathan Ehlers, who was born during the filming of "Madman", Ehlers has also explored his passion for design, crafting custom fantasy knives and weapons that showcase his unique blend of artistic flair and technical skill.
