Bio
I am an actor, writer, and designer (three's a charm +1) who grew up in New Hampshire (Live Free or Die +1) to a chef father and a Jewish mother (fat until college +/-1). My first professional acting job was at age 9 (innocence -1), and I'm still going strong (Taurus grit +1).
I peaked in fifth grade, when I went not only to the state ski racing championships (jock +1), but also the state geography bee (nerd +1).
My first job was at an apple orchard (plaid +1), because New Hampshire. Also 'because NH', I started working on the Obama '08 campaign in May '07 , and after having made a contentious campaign phone call to my government teacher, I was selected as Obama's official greeter when he spoke at my high school before the NH primary (before he was cool +1).
Though I was recruited to play tennis in college, I chose to study theatre at Wagner College instead (obscure borough +1), where my political savvy was put to the test against the powers that be in a collegiate theatre department.
I've toured the US, performed Off-Broadway, and shot a movie in China (world traveler +1). I have 3 web series I am currently writing and will be starring in (multi-tasking +1), and founded the web-design company The Actor Station (over-achiever +1). Let's create something together!

Press
A Burial Place @ The Dorothy Strelsin Theatre
Max gives a wonderful performance that was passionate and heartfelt ... The three actors question and discover the core of their friendship, and there is little the audience can do but share in the experience, wondering if they could be as strong as these characters are.
Max plays the hot-headed Colby with manic fury, and looking in his eyes, you can see the anguish that drives his anger. The trio plays three old friends with convincing intimacy.
Murder At The Food Coop @ FRINGENY
Alex Covington, Max King, and Brittany Shaffer are particular standouts in the cast, and their strong voices transcend the unfortunate static of the sound system and raise even the bawdiest lyrics with a flourish.
Seven Brides for Seven Brothers National Tour
Max King — as the youngest brother Gideon — offers poignant moments and real emotional depth.
