Max Benitz (born 14 March 1985) is an English writer, journalist, and former film and TV actor.
Max Benitz was born in London. He attended Harrow School from 1998 to 2003, where he appeared in student productions of As You Like It, Hamlet, The Pirates of Penzance, and Me and My Girl. He completed two weeks' work experience as a filing clerk at the offices of The Spectator magazine. After seeing his performance as Midshipman Calamy in the film Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World, Boris Johnson, then editor of the Spectator, wrote that Benitz had shown "much the same dash and dispatch [as Calamy] in rescuing my Toyota from the car pound."
Benitz went on to study history at the University of Edinburgh. As an undergraduate, he completed a nine-month programme at University of Calcutta, after which in 2007 he embarked, with friend and fellow Edinburgh University student George Vlasto, in a journey from Calcutta to London by car. The trip, undertaken in an Hindustan Ambassador automobile, took ten weeks, covered 9,000 miles in a route that passed through India, Pakistan, China, Central Asia, Turkey, and Europe, and raised more than £12,000 for the charities Future Hope, in Calcutta, and Royal Marsden Hospital, in London, on behalf of disadvantaged children.
