Blubberella (2011), a film by German director Uwe Boll, starring the lovely actress Lindsay Hollister as a half human half vampire Nazi-hunting bad ass … that about sums it up!

C. Ernst Harth in the 2010s. C. Ernst Harth is from Ontario, Canada and has been acting on film since 1992. In 2010s, it didn’t look to me that any role particularly really stood out for him. except he did win 2 film awards as co-producer of Joe Finds Grace, in which he also acted. He did do the English speaking voice for French animated Obelisk in 2 Asterisk and Obelisk animated films. Most often, at 6′6″ and big, he just has to look menacing.

Fat people you should follow:  Jacob Wysocki

You’ve probably seen him in movies like Pitch Perfect and Unfriended but I definitely encourage you look up his past work and follow him for any future work. My personal favorite roles of his include Fat Kid Rules The World, Loosely Exactly Nicole, and his work with CollegeHumor but he continues to put out web content with various sketch groups as well as acting in major movies. His comedy style is fun and a little chaotic. You’ll love it.

Fat People In Motion: Choreographers: Part II

Part II of our ongoing series of “Fat Choreographers” we present someone you may recognize but never quite knew.

A man of many words and even more talent is a succinct way to describe Dexter Mayfield. He came onto the scene as a fat, gay black man who had immeasurable talents. Hailing from Dallas Texas, dancing wasn’t his first choice. But as life always seems to do, what you least expect to be choice becomes one. He attended the University Of Texas as a Family Studies and Early Childhood Ed major. While studying, he found dance and never looked back. He couldn’t find a lane to fit in so...he created his own. He starred in videos for artists such as Jennifer Lopez and Sara Bareilles. He went from dancer to choreographer creating moves for other artists, commercials, and even the Dallas Cowboy Cheerleaders. 

As his star shone brighter, in 2015, he was approached with an opportunity he never saw coming. MarcoMarco, a fashion designer who designs for many stars and champions a message of inclusion, asked Dexter to model in his show. Marco Marco shows were known for featuring drag queens but never a man without stage makeup. Especially a man of Dexter’s size and stature but...he took the challenge head-on and delivered one of the most iconic runway walks ever. 

He became an instant viral sensation and added ‘model’ to his resume. 

These days, Dexter is still dancing, choreographing, modeling, even acting and showing the word just how much of a boss he truly is.

Re: beauty and the beast. I felt the same about the wardrobe but also in the cartoon: mrs pots was fat, so was cogsworth AND so was Maurice and yet none of those characters were even chubby in the film :/ :/ :/ :/ :/

That sucks.  They should all be played by fat actors.

Fat in Cinema

Carrie Baker Reynolds in City Island (2009), a tribute to young love with a strong cast including Andy Garcia, Juliana Margulies, Emily Mortimer, and Ezra Miller. A major plot line centers around a teenage Miller, the youngest member of an Italian clan, who is beguiled by the young woman next door, an Internet "goddess" named Denise (Ms. Reynolds) who is 400 pounds and a proud advocate of BBWs as she explains on her website, ‘Feeding Denise’ … eventually the kid sets his sites on a more age-appropriate plus-size classmate and Denise helps him woo her (a very sweet story line). Click the link below to read a great article from Salon.com where the film’s creator, Raymond De Filetta, discusses his “fat chick manifesto.”

Some men prefer super-size women to thin ones. Might be disturbing to you, but it's true!

Jason Momoa is no stranger to weight fluctuations, but they seem to be happening more and more lately. In the video the last two pics are taken from, he compares himself to Humpty Dumpty and says his extra weight comes in handy. He needs to let himself fully blow up.

Frank Medrano & Louis Lombardi both started their film careers together in the 1993 film, Amongst Friends as a pair of low level crooks in Brooklyn. I don’t know if they were already a duo doing comedy routines before this or if they were randomly paired up. But they would appear in 6 more projects together. Next was The Making of ‘...and God Spoke, also in 1993 as a pair of Teamsters on a movie set and also High Kicks a low budget video with dismal reviews, again in 1993. Next was the pilot for the TV version of Hardball, playing hecklers of the baseball team, which aired in 1994. In these appearances, Frank seemed to be dominant. Speaking more lines and getting more close-ups. Louis seemed to be just a ‘me too’ kind of character. In 1995, they appeared together in one scene of The Usual Suspects. In 1997, they appeared in Father’s Day and Suicide Kings, but didn’t share any scenes together. It seemed peculiar that both were hired for the films but not as a team. Suicide Kings, especially, since they were paired up, but not with each other. Louis was paired with Dennis Leary and Frank with Brad Garrett.

Since this time Louis Lombardi has become the more recognizable of the two, appearing as a regular in ‘24′ for 2 seasons and as a recurring FBI Agent in The Sopranos. Frank Medrano is known for the great scene in Shawshank Redemption.
