Max W. Jenkins
- Actor
- Art Department
Before he turned four years old, Max Jenkins attended his first kid
karate class. He baffled the instructor when he ignored his name at
role call and, instead, tried to check in with a convincing and
completely imaginary alias. Around the same time he began enthralling
his preschool classmates and instructors with vivid and realistic tales
of his life in Africa. At 4, Max put his imagination and acting skills
to work in a professional capacity. Since then, Max has steadily built
his resume. His credits include multiple national and regional
television commercials, radio commercials and voice over, indie film,
television, industrials, and live performance roles in theatre and
cirque productions. Highlights include featured roles in Barney and
HBO's
Temple Grandin (2010),
and a principal role in a television pilot starring
Robin Givens. In addition to acting, Max,
9, trains in trampoline and tumbling and holds a current state champion
title in Trampoline. He enjoys creating screenplays, building with
Lego, reading, and training in circus arts. He just might run away to
join the circus some day. Working with the cast and crew of
Misdirection (2010) was a
magical experience for Max.
