L.A. Nightlife: The Top 10 Most Eccentric, Creative (and Quite Possibly Crazy) Characters

Categories: Nightranger

4. Kate Crash: On stage, Crash and crew tear it up with kooky choreography (and back-up dancers), costume changes, and uncontained musical chaos (a sludge of rock, glam and hip-hop), but Ms. Crash off stage is just as fun to watch. Her get-ups are technicolor, her makeup usually glitter-specked and her vibe is uber-vivacious. After years on the streets of Tokyo doing performance art and music, it seems this LA lass doesn't know how to chill, only thrill ... and we love her for it. See Kate Crash, also this Thurs, Feb. 3 (with Conquistador) at the 3 Clubs.

3. Lenora Claire: The buxom (and bright) redhead gets attention wherever she goes for her look, but it's her art world activities that make her one of vampiest visionaries in the city. An artshow featuring beloved bitties from the TV show Golden Girls as sex kittens? She did it and it was a hit. Another show featuring reality TV stars as pinups? She working on it now. With the new gallery she co-owns, PoptART, we expect more twisted and titillating exhibits and events to come. See our report from the opening here.

2. BJ Panda Bear: The DJ/Blogger dons strange get-ups of the hot-mess hipster variety, and he hangs with the Cobrasnake-approved "in-crowd," but his blog always has a very outsider, unflinchingly honest feel to it, which makes him appealing and unthreatening yet still kind of fabulous.

I just had coffee with a world famous movie reviewer for LA weekly magazine, her name is Miv Evans, I met her at AFM this year(American Film Market), she wants to review Cold Creepy Feeling for the magazine! Did you know that I've just reached the million dollar mark for sales of my movies (18), also I have a vintage collection 8 of my older movies and I have interest from distributor eye intertement (Ramzi), and Cold Creepy Feeling is the next hundred million dollar winner at the box office, we hope, maybe not that much but a real hit for the teenage audience period! I was just photographed and vided, by TMZ tv show, my tape will be presented to Harvey, the owner, next week! Did you see my article on LA weekly blog?It called me one of the most ten promising performers in Hollywood! We'll keep you posted for more! Thank you! Dennis Woodruff.

Ramzi is a great guy to know him is to love him. A great artist and film maker...he knows his stuff. He's known in all the highest social circles,he's a honest and visionary artist. I believe anyone associated with him can gain wisdom and knowledge. I'm sure he's reality show will be a great success around the world and I hope he gets funding. I also understand his relationship with Troma Entertainment is wonderful. I heard he's a distributor of movies as well..P.S- Could we hear more of these artists listed on this page? I believe all these people are the true gold mine and diamond mine waiting to be discovered. We must look beyond the top famous people when casting our movies and tv shows it' so stupid to have the same people over and over again.

Dennis is really nice guy. He may seem like he comes on strong. Just trying to make it to the top of the heap. To know him is to love him. He is comitted to the entertainment industry and some help from all of his friends would be of help. A helpful friend,,

One more thing - It's always been a dream of mine to be on the cover of LA Weekly with my car, standing underneath the Hollywood sign with my dog Tuffy. Being that my family constructed the Hollywood sign in 1923 and my grandfather S.H. Woodruff was the developer of Hollywoodland, it seems only suiting they would run a story about me to gain respect and admiration.

I've heard that Dennis Woodruff is a real jet setter, I saw him in Paris. He drunk drove into my car and gave me $5k even tho it was only a small dent.

"Mr Hollywood," Dennis Woodruff has needed a reality show for a long time. His passion and art inspires each and every one of us who meets him. The true goldmine in hollywood is in the undiscovered talent. When the execs finally realize this, we will enter the next phase of the industry. Welcome to Love Angeles!

Allot of people don't know that for 13 years Dennis Woodruff has been selling his movies successfully out of the trunk of his car. The movies for ten dollars each completely support him and his dog Tuffy2. When you buy his movies you help him to continue for bigger success, he claims he's never had an unsatisfied customer, in fact people buy an new one every time he makes on about 1 every six months. Allot of the money he earns from selling the movies around town pays for the editing etc. of these movies. So show your support & buy one. If you search for Dennis Woodruff online you'll find his store and many other good things about him.

Dennis Woodruff has been selling his movies around LA for 13 years that I know of. I've bought 6 of them but I know he has about 18. I was a little but sceptical at first but I went on to buy them and found them to be great movies. And I would recommend you do the same. I have never seen anyone else sell their movies out of the trunk of their car.Satisfied Customer

Being that LA is full of people driving around in Ferraris and Bentleys the power people are so selfish they don't care about helping the underdog. Even if you rub their noses in their own poo poo it wouldn't do any good; they just want more and more. Guys like Dennis come along once in a lifetime and should be applauded and hired by people with the ability. I personally like people that are real like Dennis. Please put him on the cover of the magazine because he and his art car deserves such exposure.

Saintly Man
Saintly Man

Truth And God Spoke WisdomIf you believe in a higher power, and the fact that God has his hand on everyone and everything, Dennis Woodruff is a saint put here in Hollywood by God to rebuild Hollywood—a re-birth, if you will, to be reborn again. It is known that Dennis is a leader of creative forces on the planet, and God’s will is to tear down and rebuild a creative force on the planet. Dennis is a vessel for God’s work to be transformed into the creative world of movies and TV. God’s plan is to change the fact that movies and artists are suffering and corporate America is the devil. The revolution has begun. Dennis is a peaceful man, and has thousands of followers worldwide. We must rebuild Hollywood. The Woodruff history is that his grandfather built Hollywood land, and the railroads, and the Hollywood sign.

Artists are a benefit when zany. This individual can somehow bring people away from thinking about people groups and see or want to see an individual that Dennis is. (Woodruff)I Am Glad that I talked to him about not being crazy, but zany.

Hi My name is Eddie Caldwell ive worked with Dennis Woodruff before on a film Dennis is a talented actor and has the chops that it takes to make any movie great . People should embrace actors such as Dennis for bigger roles and opportunities. Id really like you to do an article with Dennis in it about the Real Hollywood the Hollywood the billionaires rarely see. Because theyre not in reality. Alot of people get success that dont even deserve it. And give nothing back. But Dennis Does ! Signed

Dennis Woodruff's inciteful observation of societal issues through comedy makes powerful impact on viewers. He is social philosopher disguised as a movie maker. His message is intertwined with spirituality. Looking forward to following his message.

Hi Everyone. I'm the brother of Dennis Woodruff. My name is Jeff. It's surprising how much I look like him! My brother is a hard working man and extremely talented. He spent most of his life making movies. Business people and the people who are friends of his really respect him. It's cool that you called him eccentric. I help him make his movies and you can download them on troma.com. Please show him your support by buying his movies and put him in the spotlight, where he belongs. Right on, my brother, Dennis! P.S. I really think you should give him a cover story too! He's definitely FAMOUS.

I think that you should be on the cover of LA Weekly. I saw you at a restaurant in LA with your brother and Jim Carrey. Are you guys gonna be working together? I think it was the Ivy restaurant. Anyway, good luck to you. You don't deserve to be put in a lower category of eccentric or crazy or weird. To know you is to love you. Your pals at USC Film School.PS I think your movies are outstanding and the best examples of independent films. When will they be in schools? Put him on the cover man, that's where he belongs. Dennis you rock

Jaime Hernandez

Dennis should be on cover of your La Weekly. We have been rooting for him for a long time. His films are better than David Lynch or Quintine Torentino movies. If some smart person could increase his budget he could really kick some A. That guy makes movies that are within ten thousand and are excellent. He was recently praised by Ron Meyer president of Universal as the most talented film maker in hollywood. We applaud you Dennis .. Your friends and admirers at AFI film school

Dennis Woodruff is a really nice guy and a real gentleman, unfortunately he's not eccentric he's a Hollywood icon, and anyone reading this should help bring him up where he belongs in the spotlight with respect. He's not a lowlife, in fact he's more real than most movie stars. We support him being on the cover of LA weekly soon!

Bird Watcher's Society of America

P.S We saw his foundation on his .org and we believe it's a good charity to help artists and it further proves his humanitarian side and generosity, peace and love to all.

Dennis Woodruff belongs on the cover of your magazine. He personifies LA and Hollywood as well as he's the Grandson of the builder of Hollywood Land in 1923 S.H Woodruff. We are starting a petition to get Dennis on the cover of your magazine with one of his art cars. We feel it will be a best seller. We hope you will do a complete story of his life and about his movies. Avid fans of originality and creativity, the independant NYFA alumni, Chloe Brown and friends!

About Dennis Woodruff: We love Ramsey! What a great pair of artists. Dennis has the ability to become one of the greatest actors, if given the chance. He's not weird, he's not crazy, he's not eccentric, but he is brilliant. He is a normal guy. I urge you to check out his movies: If you google his name you will see a lot more about him, We applaud you Dennis.DeltaThaiSororityHouse. PLEASE DO A BIGGER STORY ABOUT DENNIS!

I was at The W at Club Drais the other night when I met Dennis Woodruff. I couldn't help but talk to him although he was hard to reach because he had a VIP table. When I was at the bar, I realized he had sent me a shot of Patron and a rose, and then, there I was in VIP. He asked me to dance and was a complete gentlemen, which, might I add, is hard to find in this city. Despite the night club scene, he was very down to earth, intriguing, and completely captivated my attention with his whit. He was a real prince. Cannot wait to meet him again and am so happy to see that he is doing great things!

I met Dennis the other day and he was a real gentleman along with the attention getting car he had. His persona was of great stature and seemed like a down to earth guy, not like the others who may think they are better than the average person. Can you tell us more about him? He seems a mystery. I turned my head briefly for a second and he disappeared in a puff of smoke.

We think that he is the most interesting guy in "Hollywood" and would like to hear a bigger story about him. Being that you're "L.A. Weekly", have you done your homework and watched his movies yourself? They are really funny.

P.S: I'm using a friend's computer "David Holstein III"

It's pretty sad that Don Bolles has spent most of his life using people, especially young women, and still has not learned that taking a bath makes one smell and look decent. What's even sadder is that a lot of people look up to and promote creepy and sociopathic people such as him. He wears those hats to hide the fact that he's almost completely bald underneath and all of his teeth are fake dentures. Scary, scary, scary!!

Dennis Woodruff is one of the nicest guys I've ever and most deserving success in film making, acting... He is the most original genius ahead of his time. His films reflect his new style of film making, camera work. and directing skills as well as his acting ability. He gets common actors to give extraordinary performances in his movies. I highly recommend you see his website www.denniswoodruffshow.com and youtube channels, myspace, twitter, and much more. He deserves high praise and nothing less. PS Dennis is also the grandson of the builder of Hollywood Land and the Hollywood Sign. I recommend you donate to his foundation @ www.denniswoodruff.org
