Alphonso DeNoble was a morbidly obese actor who only appeared in three low-budget horror pictures during his regrettably fleeting career. DeNoble's regular job was working as a bouncer at a Paterson, New Jersey gay bar. Writer/director Alfred Sole convinced him to play the strikingly lewd, sleazy, and grotesque pedophile landlord Mr. Alphonso in the excellent "Communion." Alphonso went on to portray a white slave dealer in the notorious splatter sickie "Bloodsucking Freaks" and a camera store proprietor in the cruddy "Night of the Zombies." To earn extra money, Alphonso would often dress up as a priest and hang around cemeteries. Elderly widows would ask "Father Alphonso" for a blessing and offer him a donation for the church in return. Alphonso DeNoble died in 1986.
