Serafino Profumo
Serafino Profumo was basically the Robert Tessier of deliciously down'n'dirty Italian exploitation features made throughout the 70s and 80s. Big, bald and brawny, with a thick, furry mustache, an evil, leering grin, and an extremely aggressive and intimidating screen presence, Profumo was often cast in secondary parts as especially vile, brutish, and hateful villains in spaghetti Westerns, Nazisploitation entries, and chicks-in-chains romps. He had a rare lead as cruel plantation owner Richard Hunter in the seamy "Mandinga." Serafino Profumo's other memorable roles include a vicious Nazi sergeant in "SS Experiment Love Camp," the ruthless Lt. Hans in "SS Camp: Women's Hell," and sadistic women's prison camp guard Martinez in the supremely scuzzy "Escape from Hell."

Percentiles are each film's standing among all films on MovieCove; the typical film is the median, so one outlier cannot drag it. Percentiles and reviewer scores count the films IMDb credits them on, for now; the Midcredits score bands, the shape of the crowd and the two cards count their MovieCove titles, shows included (a show ranked among shows), appearances as themselves left out. A descriptor is the shape of a title's IMDb rating distribution against the catalog; "most divisive" needs a spread wider than half of all titles, and a card names only a principal credit: a craft role, and on a show a crew role or a run of episodes, never a courtesy credit or a one-off guest spot.
