Max Records (born June 18, 1997) is an American actor. He is most notable for his roles as Max in the film Where the Wild Things Are,[1][2] for which he won the 2009 Young Artist Award for Best Leading Young Actor in a Feature Film,[3] and as Slater Pedulla in The Sitter. He has also appeared as a guest on The Tonight Show.
Personal life
Records was born in Syracuse, New York, the son of Shawn Records, a photographer, and Jenny, a Librarian.[4][5] He moved to Portland, Oregon at a very young age and attended Metropolitan Learning Center for most of his schooling. He has a younger brother named Sam.
Career
Records first became famous for the main role in Where the Wild Things Are, when he was hired personally by Spike Jonze.[6] Records's father, who is a photographer, was asked to send the company information of actors fitting a certain description, Max happened to fit it so his information was also provided.
Before being cast in Where the Wild Things Are, Records starred in a music video for the band Death Cab for Cutie.[6]
After Where the Wild Things Are, his most notable roles are Young Stephen in The Brothers Bloom, and Slater Pedula in The Sitter.
Records co-stars with Christopher Lloyd as John Wayne Cleaver in the film, I Am Not a Serial Killer, shot in 2015[7] and released in early 2016. Rolling Stone described the role as "a homicidal Midwestern teen who has to kill a mass murderer in order to stop becoming one himself".[8]
