Max Alexander, born Michael Drelich on the East Coast, is a towering figure in the world of American stand-up comedy, with a presence that commands attention. As a comedian, he has made a name for himself through his electrifying performances, which have earned him a spot on some of the most prestigious television shows, including "Hart to Hart: Crimes of the Hart" in 1994, "The Tonight Show with Jay Leno" in 1992, and "Hollywood Squares" in 2004.
In addition to his work in television, Alexander has also made a significant impact in the world of film, appearing in a range of supporting and bit roles in several notable feature films. Some of his most notable credits include Sidney Lumet's "Garbo Talks" in 1984, Fred Schepisi's "Roxanne" in 1987, and Nicholas Stoller's "Forgetting Sarah Marshall" in 2008.
It's no surprise that three of the films Alexander was involved in are set in the world of stand-up comedy, given his own background and expertise in the field. These films include "Punchline" in 1988, Milos Forman's masterpiece "Man on the Moon" in 1999, and the less palatable "Stand Up" in 2007.
