Stevens is best known to New Yorkers as the gatekeeper at Marquee and Avenue, the nightspots owned by Jason Strauss and Noah Tepperberg. He's also an actor with a long list of bit television and movie credits to his name and a former lawyer.

Brooklyn native Stevens attended Brooklyn Law School, and although he began his career as an assistant district attorney in the Bronx, his trajectory in the law went a bit off course. He carved a career for himself as an actor with bit parts in a slew of TV shows and movies—weirdly enough, he was a voice on Daria—until his mid-aughts heyday as a doorman at Marquee and Avenue. Known for being a huge tool—he was once arrested for hitting a club-goer in the head with the metal end of the velvet rope—he has the ultimate douchey "door philosophy" claiming "I'd rather the club be fierce and slow than packed and disgusting," that he once rejected a car as a bribe, and that he's never given an automatic in—even to celebrities. However, his ubiquity on the club scene increased the profile of his acting gigs, with roles in The Wrestler and on Ugly Betty and The Good Wife. [Image via Getty]
