Max is an assistant at the Moon 13 research base. He works for Kinga Forrester. He is portrayed by Patton Oswalt.
Max introduces himself in Reptilicus as "TV's Son of TV's Frank", but his boss, Kinga, makes it clear that "Nobody calls him that. His name is Max. Just...just call him Max."
Behind the scenes
- Patton Oswalt has previously been involved with MST3K in hosting the "reunion" panel at the 2008 San Diego Comic-Con. [1]
- When asked to work on the show he requested that he play "TV's Son of TV's Frank".
- The idea of the new "button pusher" being named Max may be in reference to the Peter Falk character from the 1965 Blake Edwards film The Great Race, who tended to work as a sidekick and press buttons for Jack Lemmon's villainous character Professor Fate.
