Max Burkholder (born November 1, 1997) is an American actor and voice actor best known for portraying Max Braverman on the NBC family drama Parenthood (2010–2015), Charlie Sandin in the 2013 horror film The Purge, and the teenage John Bennett in the Peacock comedy series Ted (2024– ).[1][2][3] Outside live action, he has an extensive voice résumé, including Chomper in The Land Before Time television series and Roo in Disney’s My Friends Tigger & Pooh.[4][5]

A Los Angeles native, Burkholder began working professionally as a child; his early film appearances include Daddy Day Care (2003), where he played Max Ryerson.[6] He earned industry recognition for his nuanced portrayal of a teenager on the autism spectrum in Parenthood, receiving Young Artist Awards attention (including a 2014 win shared with the ensemble).[7][8]

In 2024 Burkholder headlined the prequel series Ted as a high-school-age John Bennett (the role originated by Mark Wahlberg in the Ted features), drawing notice for his Boston-accent character work and comic timing.[9][10]

Max Burkholder
Born November 1, 1997; Los Angeles, California, U.S.[11]
Occupation Actor; voice actor
Years active 2002–present[12]
Known for Max Braverman in Parenthood; Charlie Sandin in The Purge; John Bennett in Ted (TV series); voices: Roo (My Friends Tigger & Pooh), Chomper (The Land Before Time TV).[13]
Education Attended Harvard University (education details reported variously).[14][15]
Notable awards Young Artist Award — Best Supporting Young Actor (TV) and Outstanding Young Ensemble (2014), for Parenthood (with ensemble).[16]

Early life and education

Burkholder was born and raised in Los Angeles, California, and began acting in elementary school, booking commercial and television voiceover work that led to small film roles.[17] As a teenager he balanced on-set tutoring with traditional schooling while he filmed Parenthood, later enrolling at Harvard University. Reporting about his time at Harvard varies: NBC Insider described him as a Harvard graduate in a 2024 profile tied to Ted, while a February 2024 GQ feature quotes Burkholder explaining that he took a leave of absence before the COVID-19 pandemic and moved to New York to pursue theater, suggesting his degree status may be unresolved or private.[18][19]

Beginnings: child roles and early voice work

Burkholder’s first prominent screen credit was Daddy Day Care (2003), playing Max Ryerson, the son of Jeff Garlin’s character and one of the daycare kids in the ensemble comedy headlined by Eddie Murphy.[20] Around the same period he appeared in indie and studio projects (Friends with Money, Love for Rent) and quickly moved into voice gigs on animated series and specials, a niche that would remain a constant through his teens. Credited voice roles include appearances across Seth MacFarlane’s animated universe (Family Guy, American Dad!, The Cleveland Show) and character leads like Roo and Chomper for Disney and Universal’s TV arms.[21][22][23]

Breakthrough on television: Parenthood (2010–2015)

From 2010 to 2015 Burkholder portrayed Max Braverman on NBC’s acclaimed ensemble drama Parenthood, which followed the multigenerational Braverman family in Berkeley, California. His character’s arcs — from diagnosis with Asperger syndrome (now conceptualized within autism spectrum disorder) to school life and vocational growth — were shaped in consultation with advisors and drew attention for their specificity and care.[24][25]

The series earned various honors during its run; Burkholder received a Young Artist Award nomination in 2012 and, in 2014, was part of the winning ensemble and also cited individually in the Supporting Young Actor category.[26][27]

Feature film profile: The Purge and beyond

Burkholder’s highest-profile feature role to date is Charlie Sandin in The Purge (2013), a low-budget, high-concept thriller that grossed more than $90 million worldwide and launched a franchise.[28] As Charlie, the curious and empathetic son of Ethan Hawke and Lena Headey’s characters, Burkholder provided the plot’s inciting action by opening the secure home to a stranger in need, a choice that has continued to spark playful online ire years later — a dynamic he has addressed with humor in interviews.[29][30]

Other film credits range from comedic indies to animated features and voice-driven projects, sustaining a mixed portfolio alongside his television work.[31]

Leading the Ted prequel (2024– )

In Peacock’s 2024 prequel series Ted (stylized ted), created and directed by Seth MacFarlane, Burkholder stars as teenage John Bennett, with MacFarlane reprising the voice of Ted. The show explores John and Ted’s Massachusetts high-school antics in the 1990s, expanding the universe of the hit films with serialized, character-forward comedy.[32][33][34] Press coverage highlighted Burkholder’s comic sensibility and preparation (dialect training; early ties to MacFarlane’s animated projects), as well as the show’s strong debut performance on Peacock.[35][36]

Acting style and reception

Burkholder is frequently praised for a quietly observant style that works across comedy and drama. As Max Braverman, he portrayed a teenager on the spectrum with matter-of-fact confidence rather than sentimentality, reinforcing the ensemble’s grounded tone; as Charlie in The Purge, he played a kid’s moral instinct against an adult world’s ruthless logic; and in Ted he leans into timing, reactive beats, and a Boston accent to sell deadpan absurdity.[37][38]

Voice acting

Burkholder’s voice work spans preschool musicality to superhero fare. Notable credits include Roo (My Friends Tigger & Pooh) and Chomper (The Land Before Time TV), plus turns in MacFarlane shows and the Marvel-adjacent animated series The Spectacular Spider-Man (Billy Connors).[39]

Philanthropy and advocacy

During and after Parenthood, Burkholder has been part of conversations around representation of autism spectrum experiences on television, crediting consultants and showrunners for shaping responsible storylines that audiences on and off the spectrum could recognize.[40]

Personal life

Public interviews from the Ted press cycle indicate Burkholder spent time at Harvard University before taking a leave of absence to pursue theater work; he later moved to New York and continued screen acting, with his education status reported differently by outlets (see § Early life and education).[41][42]

Legacy and impact

Across childhood, adolescence, and early adulthood, Max Burkholder has maintained a cross-over profile between live action and voice roles, a path that helped him transition smoothly into adult leads. The cultural footprint of Parenthood placed him in public discussions about how scripted television depicts autism; the commercial success of The Purge carried his name outside prestige-drama audiences; and Ted has introduced him to a new cohort of comedy viewers and streamers who were too young to watch Parenthood during its original run.[68]

Public image and interviews

During press for Ted in January–February 2024, Burkholder appeared across entertainment outlets describing the audition process, dialect coaching, and the surreal experience of acting opposite a CG bear voiced live by MacFarlane. He also discussed education and career choices, including a formative Harvard-area lab internship in neuroscience while in high school, later juxtaposed with a shift back to acting as his primary focus.[69][70][71][72]

Selected credits and roles commentary

  • Parenthood (NBC): Burkholder’s portrayal of Max Braverman anchored several of the show’s most-discussed storylines, frequently cited in award summaries and critics’ pieces for humanizing a complex condition without reducing it to a trope.[73]
  • The Purge (Universal/Blumhouse): As Charlie Sandin, Burkholder’s performance anchors the moral dilemma at the film’s core, a choice that catalyzes the home-invasion narrative and continues to fuel fan conversation.[74]
  • Ted (Peacock): The performer’s comic beat work and dialect acumen underpin the series’ teen-era spin on John and his talking bear; interviews stress the show’s playful tone and the demands of eyeline/VFX acting.[75]

Notes

  • Sources differ on Burkholder’s **Harvard** status. NBC Insider calls him a graduate (Jan. 2024), while GQ (Feb. 2024) quotes him saying he took a leave before COVID and moved to New York. This article reflects that discrepancy without adjudicating it.
  • Voice credits often include uncredited additional-voices/loop group sessions typical for animated series; the filmography above emphasizes principal and clearly attributed roles.
