Biography

Mahler was born on September 12, 1950 in Manhattan, New York City.

In 1977, he appeared on two episodes of the TV series Fernwood 2 Night. In 1980, he appeared on Fridays, an early 1980s ABC sketch show modeled after NBC's Saturday Night Live, where most of his appearances showcased his musical talent and radio DJ-style voice, most notably in the recurring sketches "The Latin DJ" and the one-off sketches "KPLO" (about Palestine Liberation Organization terrorists hosting a radio show in their bunker) and "A Classical Get-Down" (about a classical pianist who hosts his radio show like a Top 40 station).

Two years after Fridays was cancelled, Mahler portrayed Sgt. Douglas Fackler in the 1984 film Police Academy. His other film work has included 1984's Friday the 13th: The Final Chapter,[1] the 1985 sequel Police Academy 2: Their First Assignment, the American sitcom Diff'rent Strokes, 1986's Police Academy 3: Back in Training, 1987's Funland, and the 1989 sequel Police Academy 6: City Under Siege.

In the 1990s, Mahler appeared on the television series The Famous Teddy Z and had a recurring role on Seinfeld. He had minor roles in the movies Hook, Dick Tracy and Loaded Weapon 1. From 1995 to 1998, he starred as a rabbi whom Elaine befriends in the Seinfeld episodes "The Postponement", "The Hot Tub" (scene deleted), "The Serenity Now" and "The Finale".
