Although he would go on to work in various capacities behind the scenes (primarily as a production coordinator) on some of the most iconic T&A comedies of the 1980s—Screwballs (1983), Screwballs II (1985), Recruits (1986), and Fireballs (1989)—the beefy Carl Alkerton might best be remembered for his sole acting credit, in the strange, low budget (and briefly Jim Carrey-featuring) film about strippers titled All in Good Taste (1983). Perhaps knowing it would be his only ever acting gig, though, Carl made it count, at least in terms of nudity. There’s an insane amount of nudity throughout the film—how could there not be, when it’s about strippers, after all?—and Carl certainly does his part to contribute to that, walking around completely naked (save for his cowboy hat) for several minutes at a time, his nice dong bouncing around all the while. All in Good Taste is presumably a joking title—it’s a pretty delightfully crass movie—but, watching these scenes, we can’t help but thinking all of Carl would taste pretty good!
