Famous Nitemen

Norman Bates 

 

Bates Motel was run by Niteman Norman Bates, a peculiar young man dominated by his invalid mother. Yep! We are fullybooked. Young lady just took the last room...Think she´s in the shower right now ?

Ted the Bellhop

 

Ted wasn´t actually a niteman. He was a niteman wannabe...Bellhop ! Here´s the synopsis of that movie:
The city is Los Angeles. The date is New Year's Eve. And the place is the Mon Signor Hotel, a once-grand, now faded old landmark where a dozen of the most unusual guests ever are about to check in... and a lone bellhop named Ted, on his first day on the job, is in for the wildest night of his life!

Doug Ireland

 

Doug Ireland is the niteman at an upscale New York hotel, where his attention to the guests sometimes goes beyond the call of mere duty as he plays the role of a "genie is a suit", helping them realize their less grand dreams. But Doug has a dream of his own -- building the "ultimate" hotel -- and all he needs is a $3 million investment from super-rich tycoon Christian Hanover (Anthony Higgins). Hanover seems interested, but first he wants Doug to babysit his mistress, Andy Hart (Gabrielle Anwar). Initially, Doug has no trouble with the task, but as he begins to fall for Andy, he realizes that he may have to make the choice between the girl and the dream.

 

Jack Torrance

Here`s Johnny!
Jack Nicholson plays Jack Torrance, a novelist with a severe case of writer`s block in The Shining. Well he wasn`t actually a niteman he was just looking after the hotel in the off-season. But i`d like to qualify him as a niteman....

Niteman Nestor Estrada at The Mercer Hotel NY

Brave niteman who took one for the team!

Actor Russell Crowe was arraigned Monday afternoon in Manhattan Criminal Court on charges of second-degree assault and fourth-degree criminal possession of a weapon for allegedly throwing a hotel telephone that struck a hotel employee in the face.

Crowe, who had seemingly retired his legendarily volatile ways, is accused of reaching out and whacking an unidentified staffer at the Mercer Hotel in Manhattan's posh SoHo district around 4:20 a.m

According to the criminal complaint accompanying the charges, Crowe admitted to the arresting police officer that he picked up the phone and threw it at the Mercer Hotel concierge "because he was angry," the Manhattan District Attorney's Office said.

NYPD Sgt. Michael Wysokowski earlier told CNN that Crowe "was upset because he couldn't get a call out to Australia."

Along with a few hours in jail on an assault charge, the "Gladiator" star earned himself a new tabloid nickname: "Jerkus Maximus."

The Daily Mail is reporting that Russell Crowe will pay $11 million to Nestor Estrada, the Mercer Hotel concierge he threw a telephone at back in June. If Nestor accepts the settlement, he'll have to give up news interviews and drop all the charges against Russell. If he doesn't accept, he'll officially be the dumbest concierge in all of concierge history. And considering I've seen a concierge actually defecate in a guest's suitcase before, you can be sure that means he would be pretty fucking stupid.

Let this be a lesson to all celebrities though. If you're going to throw a fit and attack a concierge with a telephone, make sure that you kill him. Otherwise you'll be forced to pay $11 million for something so trivial as throwing a telephone. I'm not saying Russell shouldn't be punished, I'm just saying $11 million seems a bit steep. For $11 million I'd probably let you throw three telephones at me, and maybe even a bowling ball.
