Max Brown

ABOUT Max Brown as Edward Seymour Date of Birth: February 10, 1981 Birth name : Max Barnaby Brown Birth Place: Ilkley, Yorkshire, England Eye Color: Height: 6' 2" Family: one of three siblings with two sisters. His father is a civil servant and his mother a governor at the family support charity Home-Start. His older sister is a jewellery buyer for Amazon and his little sister is studying to be a director. 'She's always been a visionary and a great photographer. Hopefully she'll be employing me in a few years' time.' Marriage to actress Pollyanna Rose in December 2005 (who he dated for the previous 5 years) ended in divorce in May 2008. He now lives with Annabelle Horsey, a Sherborne-educated former model, studying to be a chef at Leith's cookery school in Chiswick, in Notting Hill, London. Education: Max grew up in Shrewsbury and attended the local comprehensive. Actor Bio: "With a decade of television and a failed marriage already behind him, Max Brown is currently cavorting about in a codpiece opposite Jonathan Rhys Meyers in the HBO drama The Tudors. He plays the dastardly Edward Seymour, the power hungry elder brother of Henry VIII's third wife Jane. His break came ten years ago on Children's BBC; first he was heart-throb Danny Hartson in the 25th series of Grange Hill, then he graduated to playing ladies' man Kristian Hargreaves in Hollyoaks, and angelic waiter Mark Russell in Crossroads. He also appeared in episodes of Casualty and Doctors. He carved himself a niche as a soap pin-up with a catalogue of topless scenes to prove it." <a class="external" href="http://www.thisislondon.co.uk/es-magazine-fashion/article-23658359-play-boys-matthew-mcnulty-and-max-brown.do" rel="nofollow" target="_blank" title="Excerpted from ES Magazine - Sept '09">Excerpted from ES Magazine - Sept '09</a> CALLING ALL TUDORS CAST EXPERTS!

MEMORABLE QUOTES 'I don't think I've played typical leading men. I've played guys with emotional problems; I like going to the extremes of people's emotions. With Seymour, he's this power-crazed individual, but he knows how to play everybody at court and is just waiting to walk all over them.' On living in Nottinghill, London : 'I love the fact that Soho is only £10 away in a black cab. It makes a world of difference when you're pissed at three in the morning.' About his film Act of God, a revenge story in which Max has a vendetta against David Suchet's malevolent surgeon, he hopes to wash away his soap-stud reputation for good: 'I think in the last few years I've come to know what I could do in the future. I think that comes from working with more experienced actors like David. Watching him was a masterclass in acting. He could tell if you were uncomfortable and would say, "I need to go again," and give you a wink.'

FUN FACTS Was briefly married to Turistas co-star Pollyanna Rose, the couple divorced in May 2008. Max is a cat lover and owns two moggies, Millie and Hugo. he enjoys playing english football and supports Manchester United his favourite bands are Coldplay and Gomez
