Max Brown (born 1980 or 1981) is a British actor who made his television debut in 2001 at the age of 20.

Early life

Brown spent most of his childhood in the town of Shrewsbury, Shropshire. He has two sisters, Chloe and Phoebe. Brown's father is a civil servant and his mother a governor at a family support charity.[1] Brown was drawn to acting from an early age after moving schools at a young age. He performed in plays regularly at the local Music Hall in Shrewsbury.

Career

Brown first appeared on screens playing the heartthrob Danny Hartston in Grange Hill (2001). He has gone on to appear in several television shows, including Crossroads, Hollyoaks, Doctors, Casualty, Mistresses and The Tudors.[1] In 2010, he was cast as MI5 Piracy and Terrorism Case Officer Dimitri Levendis in the BBC One drama series Spooks until its final season in 2011. He originated the role of Adam Wainwright in Foyle's War, though the role needed to be re-cast when Brown moved to the United States. Brown also played Evan Marks in the first eighteen episodes of the first season of The CW's Beauty and the Beast.

Brown has appeared in films including Turistas (released as Paradise Lost in the UK) and Daylight Robbery. In 2011, he played the role of Wagner in the British independent comedy film Flutter.

He also appeared in the last two seasons of the television series The Royals as Prince Robert who later becomes King. In 2019, he was cast in the Downton Abbey film as the King's Valet, Richard Ellis, and a romantic interest of Thomas Barrow.

Brown married his first wife Pollyanna Rose in 2005,[2] divorcing in 2008.[citation needed]

Four years after his divorce from his first wife, Brown married Annabelle Horsey, a model, and together they have three children; two daughters and a son.[3][4]
