After Hours At The Burgundy Room

When James Logan's not being drowned by Jason Statham, dragged behind cars by Johnny Depp, or knocked out by Ice Cube, he's snatching purses from Tori Spelling, pulling guns on John Travolta, and voicing smart-ass dogs in Super Bowl commercials. With twenty-three years in the biz, he’s a much-respected stuntman and actor, who claims his training comes from jumping off roofs and riding around on car tops in high school. It’s a big After Hours welcome to Mr. James Logan. She hits me, she punches me ... I look up and Tori Spelling's boob—right here ... and I remember thinking: "Oh, I can't look at her boob!

Chris Carnel is one of Hollywood’s most renowned stuntmen.

Photographer Gregory Bojorquez has had some seminal moments in his life, one of which landed his work on the front page of the LA Times, as well as a hundred other news outlets around the world. It was December, 2011. On his way to the bank, Gregory found himself caught in the crossfire of a deadly shootout between LAPD and a lone gunman at the corner of Sunset & Vine in Hollywood. Instinctively, Gregory ducked for cover, drew out his camera, and began capturing all the horror as Police shot the gunman dead. The series of photographs went on to be part of a collection named .45 Blank and Gregory went on to have his name further solidified as one of the most talented, unique, and important photographers ever to come out of the city of Los Angeles. Ladies and gentlemen, it’s a big After Hours welcome to Mr. Gregory Bojorquez. The guy ... he goes for his gun all of a sudden ... he acts like he's gonna draw and the cop was right there and I just said, "Shoot him!" Gregory Bojorquez Gregory Bojorquez

Keith Morris is a punk rock icon who has influenced everyone from Green Day to Nirvana. A boisterous kid from Hermosa Beach, who wanted nothing more than to sidestep inheriting his father's bait and tackle empire, Keith helped launch the hardcore punk movement that steamrolled through Southern California in the late '70s, as lead vocalist and founding member of Black Flag and The Circle Jerks. In between creating a new genre of music and helping define an era, Keith Morris has played with everyone from Chuck Berry to the Red Hot Chili Peppers, not to mention surviving drug and alcohol abuse, diabetes, and a suicide attempt on the Santa Monica Freeway. Punk rock means many things: a musical genre, a lifestyle, an attitude—Keith Morris personifies them all. Enjoy this after hours conversation with the man himself. The owner of Mississippi Nights said to me, ‘When Chuck Berry left, he said that you are one of the greatest rock n roll bands he has ever seen.’ You’re not gonna get a higher compliment t

In 2007, Johnny Depp said of Bruce Witkin: “This guy is someone I've known for 30 years. He's a brother. We worked in bands together, we were on the road together, we lived together.” One of those bands was The Kids, which Bruce started in Florida back in 1978, and with whom he and Johnny would move out to L.A. with seeking fame and fortune. Cut to almost 40 years later and Bruce and Johnny are in another band together, a little rock supergroup called the Hollywood Vampires, featuring Joe Perry, Matt Sorum, and Alice Cooper. In between The Kids and The Vampires, Bruce has worked with everyone from Paul McCartney to Marilyn Manson, as well as producing movie soundtracks like The Lone Ranger, The Rum Diary, and Sweeney Todd, for which he was nominated for a Grammy. He’s one of the baddest musicians in L.A. and a pretty mean poker player. So sit back, relax, and enjoy this (very smokey) After Hours conversation with Mr. Bruce Witkin. Somebody pointed out to me there’s all these photos with Johnny,

Jesse Bradford has worked with everyone from Leonardo DiCaprio to Clint Eastwood in an acting career spanning almost four decades. A child actor before becoming one of Hollywood’s hottest up and coming young actors in the early 2000s, Jesse has recently starred in the NBC comedy Guys with Kids (executive produced by Jimmy Fallon) and the Crackle original series Sequestered, among other roles. So, what’s next for a guy who’s old enough to be able to look back, but still young enough to be able to look ahead? Sit back and enjoy this After Hours conversation with actor, musician, renaissance man, Jesse Bradford. I feel like I’m a little too weird to always play the leading man, and a little too leading man to always play the weird guy.Jesse Bradford Jesse Discusses: Beginning his acting career as a baby Working with Harrison Ford on Presumed Innocent Working with Leonardo DiCaprio and Claire Daines on Romeo and Juliet Auditioning alongside Robin Williams for Steven Spielberg P

Lias Saoudi, lead singer of the English rock band Fat White Family, has been described as a drink and drug-wracked nihilist degenerate, not to mention an enthusiast of onstage nudity, Nazi history, and animal carcasses. A self-professed humanitarian, Lias rejects the nihilist label, but he’s got no problem talking drugs, art, politics, fascism, classism, gentrification, yuppification, or anything else you want to throw his way. His band’s the most exciting thing to come out of the U.K. in years, and Lias's voice is surely one of the most compelling. So sit back, turn off the lights, and enjoy this After Hours conversation with the inimitable Lias Saoudi. I think our music is steeped in vicious sarcasm and irony and classic British repression, and I’m not sure if everybody in the American music listening public cottons on to those things quite so easily as they do over there.Lias Saoudi Lias Saoudi Discusses: The perils of touring in America Playing with Sean Lennon Arriving in New York for

Jon Sidel is a legendary L.A. restaurant and nightclub impresario credited with creating "a scene that gave birth to 32 bars and restaurants, transformed Hollywood, and redefined L.A. nightlife." He’s also a rock n' roll jack of all trades, who’s worked with everyone from The Sex Pistols to The White Stripes. In between signing rockstars and marrying movie stars, Sidel has owned some of the most swinging L.A. bars and restaurants, including Small’s K.O., Swingers, Dominick’s, Jones, and Good Luck Bar. Raised on the mean streets of Manhattan, but decidedly more new age California today, Sidel's a walking storybook, a man whose imprint on L.A. will be forever felt, and whose tales of insider excess continue to rival even those of Vinyl's Richie Finestra. So sit back, relax, and enjoy this walk through the amazing life of a true rock n' roll journeyman, Mr. Jon Sidel. When I saw them (Guns N' Roses) play the first time, I was like, 'Oh, shit, that guy’s in a band?' Because, you know, Axl was just thi

“Drug dealer to the Stars” is a pretty heavy title, but it's one our guest "Sanchez" (not his real name) has worn for three decades. A self-professed “hardcore 70s kinda guy,“ Sanchez has dealt drugs to rockstars and movie stars as well as doctors and lawyers. He also happens to be a movie aficionado, sports fanatic, and one of the most amiable guys you'll meet. We’re not looking to glorify drugs or dealing drugs in this episode, but we’re also not looking to play judge; what we’re interested in are people and their stories. Sanchez came of age in 1970s L.A., which means he’s seen some shit — like crazy, Hollywood stuff you don't see in the rest of the world type shit. So dig in, buckle up, and enjoy this walk through the life of Sanchez, bona fide drug dealer to the stars. … he was the nicest guy in the world and he told me he didn’t like being a celebrity sometimes—he hated it … the bad part is people don’t know when to stop or slow down.Sanchez Sanchez Discusses: Becoming a drug dealer after
