Already well known to some for his roles in Grange Hill and Crossroads, Max joined Hollyoaks as part of a group of students brought in to "sex up" the cast in 2004. His character, Kristian, was an arrogant heartthrob who dated a string of the show's ladies. After leaving Hollyoaks, he starred in The Tudors and Spooks before making the move to the USA, where roles in The CW's Beauty and the Beast and Fox's Sleepy Hollow beckoned. Most recently, he had a role in The Royals.
