Louis Sebastian Theroux (/θəˈruː/LOO-eethə-ROO; born 20 May 1970) is an English documentary filmmaker and broadcaster. He is best known for his documentary series, including Louis Theroux's Weird Weekends, When Louis Met..., and his BBC Two specials. His career started in journalism and bears influences of notable writers in his family, such as his father Paul Theroux and brother Marcel. He works with the BBC producing his documentaries and television series.
Early life
Theroux is the son of the American travel writer and novelist Paul Theroux, who is of French and Italian descent, and his then-wife Anne Castle. His older brother, Marcel, is a writer and television presenter, while his cousin, Justin, is an actor and screenwriter. Born in Singapore, Theroux moved with his family to England at the age of one year, and was brought up in London thereafter.
Theroux was educated for a couple of years at Allfarthing Primary School before moving on to Westminster School. While there he became friends with comedians Adam Buxton and Joe Cornish, and the Liberal Democrat politician Nick Clegg (with whom he travelled to America).
"Behind Bars" was the first single released from Slick Rick's third album, Behind Bars. It was released on November 8, 1994 and was produced by the legendary producer, Prince Paul. The single was released while Rick was still in jail and featured an entirely animated music video, as well as a remix that was produced and featured a verse from Warren G. "Behind Bars" became Slick Rick's first and only single to reach the Billboard Hot 100, peaking at 87 on the chart, the song also made it to 63 on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs and 12 on the Hot Rap Singles.
Fei Comodo were a 5-piece post-hardcore band from Essex, United Kingdom. They were signed to Small Town Records and developed a strong fanbase since their formation through playing many live shows across the country. They released five EPs, two singles, and one studio mini album. Renowned for an energetic live show the band completed several UK tours with other hardcore and metalcore bands from the South East, such as InMe and Bury Tomorrow.
On 3 May 2012, the band announced they would be disbanding following the release of Behind the Bright Lights and subsequent tour.
History
Formation and early years
Fei Comodo formed in May 2003 with an original line-up consisting of Marc Halls (vocals and guitar), Will Phillipson (guitar), Phil Walker (bass) and Richard Duvale (drums). After a series of line up changes, they finally recruited their current line up with Mike Curtis (guitar) being added and bass being inherited by Jay Styler and drums by Rob Clemson.
During this period, the band released four EPs, Fei Comodo, One Man Stands Alive, This One's for Us and Go, Go! Emo Rangers. One of their first gigs was at the infamous 'Whoopfest' event in the New Windmill Hall in Upminster. In September 2007, Fei Comodo toured as support for fellow Essex band InMe.
Louis Theroux: Behind Bars is a television documentary written and presented by Louis Theroux about one of America's most notorious prisons, San Quentin. There, he meets and speaks to serial murderers, gang members, at-risk inmates and guards. The film was produced and directed by Stuart Cabb, and was first aired on BBC Two on 13 January 2008.
Reception
It was ranked the tenth most watched programme of the decade on BBC Two when it was first aired in 2008, after gaining 5.81million viewers. The day after the film was first broadcast, it accounted for 27% of the activity on the BBC iPlayer, and it was the second most-watched programme on the service in the first quarter of 2008, behind The Apprentice.
In The Guardian, Sam Wollaston said the documentary was "absolutely fascinating, one of Theroux's finest films". He described Theroux as "remarkably relaxed and at home", with access that was "extraordinary, and could never have happened in this country". Andrew Billen for The Times said, after watching the film for the first time: "I thought that Theroux was slightly overawed by his subject and less nosey than he should have been. Watching it again, I realised the prison's inmates were so strangely overarticulate that they did not need interrogating."The Daily Telegraph's Stephen Pile said that Theroux "did not have to do much; just pointing a camera at them was enough to fill 60 fascinating minutes showing the banality of evil." Despite the two weeks Theroux spent at the prison, Gordon Farrer for The Age said that "there's not a lot of effort on Theroux's part to elicit insights into the social issues raised by a place like San Quentin or to put it into a broader social context. The result is an interesting profile of a brutal, unnatural social experiment that leaves you wanting to know much more."

Louis Sebastian Theroux (/θəˈruː/LOO-eethə-ROO; born 20 May 1970) is an English documentary filmmaker and broadcaster. He is best known for his documentary series, including Louis Theroux's Weird Weekends, When Louis Met..., and his BBC Two specials. His career started in journalism and bears influences of notable writers in his family, such as his father Paul Theroux and brother Marcel. He works with the BBC producing his documentaries and television series.
Early life
Theroux is the son of the American travel writer and novelist Paul Theroux, who is of French and Italian descent, and his then-wife Anne Castle. His older brother, Marcel, is a writer and television presenter, while his cousin, Justin, is an actor and screenwriter. Born in Singapore, Theroux moved with his family to England at the age of one year, and was brought up in London thereafter.
Theroux was educated for a couple of years at Allfarthing Primary School before moving on to Westminster School. While there he became friends with comedians Adam Buxton and Joe Cornish, and the Liberal Democrat politician Nick Clegg (with whom he travelled to America).
Love makes the streets again. Do you remember when? You laughed and called me names. Times changed, you're not the same From inner city hell. Dead walls and smoking smells. You used to be a child. Waton mad and raving wild You have a friend in your gun. You get your way having fun. You, on the run going wild. Now it's no fun, you must run you must hide. Pool halls and stolen cars. Another night behind the bars. What I want, I will take. Trust me I'll be your snake. Nothing can hold me back when I start my attack. Gray walls will be my friend, till I break out again. You have a friend in your gun. You get your way having fun. You, on the run going wild. Now it's no fun, you must run you must hide. You, on the run going wild. Now it's no fun, you must run you must hide. You, on the run going wild.
