Max Beesley in the movie Jamestown (2017)

Max Beesley - a man of many talents - was born 47 years ago in a small suburb in the city of Manchester, in the north west of England. Max Beesley may be primarily known for his current role in the British thriller series Mad Dogs, but he also played a big role in the movie Torque and Red Roses and Petrol. Though Beesley has had some lead acting roles in the past-acting was not his first choice.

Many might not know, but Beesley was actually a musician early in his life. He got the inspiration to pursue a musical career at an early age all thanks to his father, who played the drums, and his mother, who was a jazz singer. Before making the official transition to an actor, Beesley was quite a successful musician. He began as part of the choir for the Manchester Cathedral and later moved on to bigger things. And by bigger things we refer to him becoming percussionist and pianist for the well-known British singer, Robbie Williams.

Max Beesley had a good career as a musician, but as we all know he expanded his horizons and became an actor - a decision that we definitely cannot criticize. For this reason, we love to call Mr. Beesley a man of many talents. No matter what industry he goes into, he manages to make it to the top. Thanks to all of his hard work and dedication, he’s managed to work alongside great talent such as Ice Cube, Mariah Carey, Ray Liotta, and Forest Whitaker. A winner will always be a winner, and on this special day that will not change. Happy Birthday, Max Beesley!
