So here’s to Max. The man, the myth, the guy who makes a grilled cheese sandwich look like high art. In a world full of dramatic leads, he’s the supporting actor we all need. Go watch his stuff. You’ll smile, and you might even find your new favorite actor hiding in plain sight. Keep being you, Max. You’re the best kind of weird.
