- Max was Ming, Ming was Max. One fish, two fish, red fish, blue...

- Ooops...sorry.
-
- For similarly bizarre and fun character role for Max check him out
- as King Osric in _Conan the Barbarian_. I bet both those roles
- must have been fun for him to play.
-
- And on a totally different, but related note...I met Brian Blessed
- (_Henry V_, "I, Claudius", "Black Adder", _Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves_)
- at a book signing recently in Kingston, England. He said that his favorite
- film role ever was as the King of the Hawk-people in _Flash Gordon_.
