He was born in New York City. Following a short tour of duty in the United States Army, Schlossberg attended college at New York University, graduating with honors.
In 1964 he began his career in television at ABC as an assistant account representative in station clearance. After 10 months, he was promoted to head the department. In 1966 Schlossberg left ABC to become an account executive at the Walter Reade Organization in the television division. He moved to the theater division in 1969, and he became the Vice President and Head Film Buyer. In 1974, while working as an executive, Schlossberg began hosting Movie Talk, a four-hour nationally syndicated radio program aired in New York first on WMCA and subsequently on WOR. Over the next nine years, he interviewed hundreds of stars (many of whom rarely did interviews) such as Jack Nicholson, Dustin Hoffman and Warren Beatty. He also hosted Movie Talk on television, which aired in New York and Philadelphia on Wometco Home Theatre. For two years (1976 and 1977) he worked at Paramount Pictures first as V.P. of World Wide Acquisition and later as V.P. of Production.

In 1978, Schlossberg established Castle Hill Productions, a film production and distribution company. They distributed over 500 first run and classic movies to theaters, pay TV, basic cable, home video, TV syndication and other motion picture outlets worldwide. It became one of the largest independent film distribution companies in the world. Some of the features distributed by Castle Hill were three Elia Kazan features: Face in the Crowd, Baby Doll and America America; John Cassavetes’ collection including Woman Under the Influence and Faces; Orson Welles’ Othello, John Ford’s Stagecoach, Alfred Hitchcock’s Foreign Correspondent, Bruce Beresford’s Breaker Morant, The Marx Brothers’ A Night in Casablanca, Glengarry Glen Ross starring Al Pacino, Death of a Salesman starring Dustin Hoffman, Seize the Day starring Robin Williams, presented with Martin Scorsese, Fellini’s Intervista, two Academy Award nominees – A Great Day in Harlem and Al Hirschfeld: The Line King, and Academy Award winners Discreet Charm of the Bourgeoisie and Get Out Your Handkerchiefs.
Schlossberg established himself as a producer’s representative for prominent figures such as Elia Kazan, Dustin Hoffman, John Cassavetes, and George C. Scott, Elaine May and Robert Duvall.
In 2006 Schlossberg sold Castle Hill Productions and started two new production and film distribution companies, Jumer Productions Inc. and Westchester Films Inc. Their libraries are managed in part by Janus Films. Then, in 2014, Schlossberg sold the Westchester company and its library to Shout! Factory, though he remained with the new owners as an adviser. He is also the co-founder of Merlian News, a holistic online magazine. Along with Meyer Ackerman he owns the motion picture rights to the musical Carnival based on the motion picture Lili.

Rising star Evan Hengst on his “rocket-powered” role in new film ‘Novocaine’

South African actor Evan Hengst’s star is on the rise. His latest role is chaos-fuelled Ben in action-comedy movie ‘Novocaine’, which also stars Jack Quaid from ‘The Boys’. ‘Novocaine’ is about Nate (played by Quaid) who becomes a superhero when he uses his inability to feel pain to rescue his kidnapped girlfriend. Evan, who studied at Act Cape Town before beginning his acting career in the theatre, tells us about training for fight scenes, playing cops and robbers, and getting in the headspace of a maniac…
Tell us more about your role in ‘Novocaine’?
“Ben is a rocket-powered rage train fuelled by a love of chaos. Whatever he chooses to do, he’s going to cause as much mayhem as he can and enjoy every second of it. He’s that guy in the bar nobody wants to mess with because he’ll buy you a tequila, right before biting your ear off. Which was a joy to play, because I’m actually a big softy! I almost lost the role because I was working on three different projects at the time, so scheduling all the training and stunt rehearsals was a challenge. It’s truly miraculous how we managed to make it work out.”

What was your experience working on the film?
“Getting to work alongside such an extraordinary cast and crew was a dream come true. We were all just a bunch of kids playing cops and robbers, but with a lot more gore.”
“The directors Robert Olsen and Dan Berk cultivated such an infectious, fun and collaborative space on set from the get-go.”
“From the cast to the crew, the excitement was palpable and you could feel what we were making was going to be a really wild ride.”
What did you do to prepare for the role?
“It’s definitely the most physical role I’ve done to date and I was blessed to be given a whole team of trainers and coordinators to guide me. I annihilated so many chicken breasts to turn me into a tank, and got my ass handed to me by the stunt coordinators for a few hours each day. Lots of personal training and sparring sessions to get me moving like a fighter, and then I played video games – I played a lot of Grand Theft Auto 5 to prepare myself for robbing banks! I made this really wild playlist of country, German oompa, heavy metal and classical music to create a constant circus in my head. I also watched the movie ‘Heat’ about five times just to get a feel of the shootout scene.”
What was it like being involved in such an intense fight scene?
“‘Slow means flow’ was in my head every day for six weeks.”
“We would run through the scene meticulously piece by piece and in the end put it together like a beautiful dance.”
“It was an incredibly humbling experience to go through. My mind and body were pushed to the limit and was shown what I was truly capable of doing.”
What was your favourite moment on set?
“Being with Jack [Quaid] on his birthday. We filmed our big fight scene that day and were both exhausted between takes, but the crew got him a beautiful cake to celebrate. We both were on strict meal plans at the time and he was being extremely disciplined, but I managed to convince him to have a few slices. The satisfaction on his face was priceless.”

Who would enjoy watching this film?
“Anyone who likes action, romance and comedy with a touch of sadism and a great underdog story. For people who happen to be a bit squeamish about blood, this might cure you once and for all. Or maybe not!”
What does the future hold for you?
“I have a film coming out called ‘A Kind of Madness’, which I’m really excited about – it’s released in South Africa on 11 April. My focus is on building my career internationally and finding the right people to give me the opportunities to be a part of the stories I want to tell. I think South Africa has such untapped talent and I want the chance to show the world what we have to offer.”
‘Novocaine’ is released in US cinemas today (14 March) and is out in the UK on 28 March
