Alphonso DeNoble, a cinematic figure whose remarkable physique was characterized by morbid obesity, left an indelible mark on the world of low-budget horror films, albeit for a regrettably brief period.
Prior to his foray into acting, DeNoble's occupation was that of a bouncer at a gay bar in Paterson, New Jersey, a position he held with distinction.
Notably, it was writer/director Alfred Sole who coaxed DeNoble into taking on the role of Mr. Alphonso, a strikingly lewd, sleazy, and grotesque pedophile landlord in the esteemed film "Alice, Sweet Alice".
DeNoble's subsequent appearances were in two films directed by Joel M. Reed. In the notorious splatter film "Bloodsucking Freaks", he portrayed a white slave dealer, showcasing his versatility as an actor. In the equally cruddy "Night of the Zombies", he played the role of a camera store proprietor, further demonstrating his range as a performer.
