Profumo, Serafino

Post by PeplumParadise » 08/08/2021, 10:59

Serafino Profumo in "Lager SSadis Kastrat Kommandantur" (1976)
Serafino Profumo was a supporting actor active in Italian films from at least the late 1960's until the early 1980's.

Serafino is a well-known face to fans of late 70's Italian exploitation films, yet, somewhat surprisingly, he only has a very small known filmography. He specialised in playing sleazy, sadistic roles such as nazis, guards in prison camps and plantation owners. He had some form of moustache in almost all his roles and frequently shaved his head in his later appearances.

I think it is very probable that there will be more roles to be found given that his current filmography is rather sparse.

No other biographical details are currently known.

Io... donna (1971) He seems to be playing some sort of an Agent, however the plot is nonsensical and his presence is not really explained.

In fact very little about this film makes any sense including that his acting role has previously gone overlooked or that he is credited as Producer on the poster, as "Seraphin Profumo", yet his name does not appear in the film's credits.

Passi di danza su una lama di rasoio (1973) credited, but does not appear.

His credit here is a mystery. Emiliano says that director Maurizio Pradeaux had no recollection of why he received the credit.

Più forte sorelle (1973) credited as "Profumo Serafino", as Hotel desk clerk.

Other websites mis-credit him as playing a Henchman.
