Good Morning, Gratuitous Max Martini

.
I'd intended to do this post back when Pacific Rim came out in July - Max played the gruff (he's always "the gruff" something) father to Rob Kazinsky's character in that movie - but somehow, didn't. Well thankfully I've gotten a second opportunity within a relatively short time frame - not only is Pacific Rim out on Blu-ray next week, Max also plays the leader of the super sexy Navy SEALs in Captain Phillips, the "Tom Hanks Versus Somali Pirates" movie that's out in theaters tomorrow. 

I saw Captain Phillips at the New York Film Fest last week and I still have to review it, but instead of making mention of this in my review and waylaying that with inappropriateness let me make mention here the strange erotic moment in that movie where we get to watch the SEALs gear up, shirtless and lit by shaky flashlights, that feels transported in from an especially arty porn, or a Madonna video. It's awesome. 

Anyway it was bugging me the whole movie, I couldn't remember Max;'s name, so I looked him up after it was over and was all, oh yeah, I have to do a post about him. And here we are! Hit the jump for a pile more pictures.

Bless you! He was great on The Unit and hasn't worked nearly enough since then. That voice!
