Bobby Rhodes

Actor · Born October 25, 1947 (79) · Livorno, Tuscany, Italy

The brawny and imposing actor Bobby Rhodes was born in 1947 in Livorno, Italy. He first began acting in films in the late 1960s. Rhodes has been frequently cast as hard-as-nails, two-fisted macho-guy types in various Italian war, action, and horror features made throughout the 1970s, 1980s, and 1990s. Bobby was excellent as the funky, no-nonsense Tony the Pimp in Lamberto Bava's outrageously gruesome cult fright flick Demons (1985). Rhodes was likewise fine as rugged gym instructor Hank in the equally enjoyable sequel Demons 2 (1986). His other memorable movie parts include rough'n'tumble soldier Carlos in the thrilling The Last Hunter (1980); crafty, fearsome hunter Woody Aldridge in the exciting futuristic sci-fi/action opus Endgame - Bronx lotta finale (1983); narcoleptic soldier Private Wilbur Davis Jr. in the dreadful war comedy Ciao nemico (1982); a formidable mercenary in Hearts and Armour (1983); King Xenodama in Hercules (1983); and a profane P.O.W. mechanic in Afganistan - The last war bus (L'ultimo bus di guerra) (1989). Rhodes has also worked in films as both a stand-in, and a stuntman.

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.
