The actor, Clifton Powell has appeared in over 100 feature films and television shows with some of his most memorable roles being in major movies such as Clifton's role as Ray Charles' longtime band manager and friend, Jeff Brown, in Ray (for which he received an NAACP Image Award nomination), or as Cutty, with his cold whispering taunting of Lorenz Tate in the cult classic, Dead Presidents, or Selma, and Clifton's portrayal of Dr. Martin Luther King. Once you watch Clifton Powell on the screen, you do not forget him.

Sharing the same hometown as Marvin Gaye, host Brad Johnson has known this Mayfair Northeast, Washington, DC native since the late eighties, when they crossed paths in Los Angeles at the start of Clifton's career. Over the years, in his interactions with Clifton, he's the same humble, cool, warm and engaging person he was then. That's not to say he hasn't grown with Hollywood, fatherhood, marriage, age, and life experience, we're all constantly evolving, aren't we?

Brad has been looking forward to sitting down and reconnecting with his friend, Clifton Powell. In this episode, they discuss how Clifton's career has taken him places he never would have imagined despite not having a plan, his journey into an acting career, his experience hitting rock bottom 8 years ago and how it was the best thing that happened to him. Clifton connects Dr. Martin Luther King's The Drum Major Instinct speech to life in Hollywood and the danger of fame while also sharing some thoughts about "The Slap" and his son, Clifton Powell Jr. dating Sasha Obama.  Join us at Corner Table Talk!

After years of lowering the velvet rope and pulling out chairs on both coasts for countless guests, Brad Johnson puts his warm, present and welcoming hospitality skills to use as the host of Corner Table Talk, covering topics spanning FOOD + DRINK + CULTURE. Following the guest conversation, international speaker, writer, and diplomat Ambassador Shabazz (eldest daughter of Malcolm X and Dr. Betty Shabazz) spends a few moments unpacking the discussion and lets us in on some of the interesting people, places, and things that have her attention in HOW WE MOVE.

Brad Johnson’s career in hospitality began in the early 70s in the dish pit of his father’s renowned NYC restaurant, The Cellar, followed by his subsequent storied road creating high profile establishments, from the lavish LA nightclub The Roxbury (yes, that Roxbury) to the Melrose Avenue soulful hotspot, Georgia, and the James Beard Award-nominated Post & Beam.
