Biography
Character actor Max Perlich spent many years playing bit parts on television and in teen films such as
Can't Buy Me Love (1987) and
Lost Angels (1989); his roles usually were of the slacker or juvenile delinquent variety. As he outgrew the teen genre, his later performances, although still minor, were distinguished by eccentricity and twitchy, nervous energy, fully realized in the film
Drugstore Cowboy. He has excelled in supporting roles in films such as
Rush (1991) and
Georgia (1995). Along with his continuing work in films, he has had recurring roles in television shows such as Homicide: Life on the Streets (1997) and
Buffy the Vampire Slayer (1998).
