Max Headroom
originally aired on Cinemax
Max Headroom is a fictional character played by actor Matt Frewer. The character was created by George Stone, Annabel Jankel, and Rocky Morton. Max's personality was meant to be a satirical exaggeration of the worst tendencies of television hosts in the 1980s who wanted to appeal to youth culture yet weren't a part of it. Max was advertised as "computer-generated" and some believed this, but he was actually an actor.
