Max Beesley Net Worth $5 million
Max was born to jazz singer Chris Marlowe and jazz drummer Maxton Beesley Sr., so it is no wonder that he has made a successful career in the entertainment business. Surrounded by and interested in music since his childhood, Max took his first steps towards a music career in his teenage when he joined Manchester Cathedral’s choir. He later attended Chetham’s School of Music, after which he enrolled at London’s Guildhall School of Music & Drama. Upon finishing his schooling, Max served as the percussionist for the Brand New Heavies jazz and funk group, and also toured with acid jazz group Incognito in the late 1980s. These engagements provided the basis for Max Beesley’s net worth.
Beesley’s acting debut occurred in 1996, when he appeared in the “Thief Takers” TV series which was followed by a supporting role in two episodes of “The Broker’s Man” TV series. His career was set on a rising path later in 1997, when he was cast for the title role in “The History of Tom Jones, a Foundling” TV mini-series. In 1999 he was cast in his first movie role, as one of the main characters in the sports comedy film “The Match”.
As the 2000s began, Max started to appear in more demanding roles in movies, such as in “Hotel” (2001), “Anita & Me” (2002) and “The Emperor’s Wife” (2003). Between 2004 and 2006, Max starred as Dr. Rob Lake in BBC’s medical drama series “Bodies”, which all provided the basis for Beesley’s current net worth.
Subsequently Max changed the focus of his acting career towards television, and in 2006 was cast for one of his career-breakthrough roles, that of Charlie Edwards in BBC’s drama series “Hotel Babylon”, who he portrayed through the show’s four seasons ’til 2009. In the same period, Beesley also made several other memorable appearances, in “Talk to Me” and “The Last Enemy” series as well as in “London Ink” reality TV show. Between 2008 and 2010 he starred as Tom Price in the drama series “Survivors”, while from 2011 to 2013 he portrayed Woody in BBC’s psychological drama series “Mad Dogs”. It is certain that all these achievements helped Max Beesley to dramatically increase the total of his wealth.
To greater prominence in the States Beesley came in 2013, when he guest-starred in seven episodes of the TV legal drama series “Suits”. In 2015 Max was cast for the recurring role of Mike in “Ordinary Lies” British drama series, which was followed by engagements in “Strike Back”, “Homeland” and “Empire” TV shows. The most recent acting engagement of Max Beesley is the role of Henry Sharrow in the historical drama series “Jamestown”. Doubtlessly, all these involvements have helped Max Beesley to add a significant amount of money to the size of his net worth.
Additionally, over the years Max has also put some effort towards his music career – on several occasions he joined Robbie Williams on his Britain and Australian tours, serving as a pianist and percussionist.
When it comes to the personal life of Max Beesley, it has been as equally thrilling as his career – before settling down, he dated several popular actresses and musicians including Melanie Sykes, Susie Amy, Davinia Taylor as well as Dannii Minogue, Jodie Marsh and Mel B. However, since 2012 Max has been married to former dancer, Jennifer, with whom he welcomed one daughter. He is also an avid fan of Manchester United Football Club.

Certainly 'Survivors,' when we put that series out, the second series dipped below 5 million for one of the episodes - all of a sudden, there's no recommission, and I think that's dreadful.

I'm a massive fan of the 'Bourne' franchise, and I think Damon's brilliant in it, and I love the films. I'm really into it.

The only person I'll marry is myself. Believe me, my ego is that big.

I think that if you've got 5 million people that enjoy drama and invest in characters, you must take the time to not worry about your job and getting sacked and just go for it and hit it again.

If you fall in love with someone, it doesn't matter who they are. I've had lots of girlfriends who weren't in the public eye. It is hard, all the intrusion: you have a row with someone, and even though you've sorted everything out, you get the are-they-going-to-split headlines for the next ten days.

I've had a fantastic life so far; I'm lucky. I'd like the great role that changes everything, but at the moment, what's important is being happy in myself.

If directors, actors and writers have the ability to drop their alpha-male egos, you will always get better work. In terms of my own demands, I actually want fewer lines. If I can lose a line and do it with my face, I'd rather do that.

I'd be lying if I said Hollywood wasn't still an ambition; it's everyone's, isn't it? You're getting paid very well, you're working with great actors and great directors - who wouldn't want to be a part of that? But it's not going to break my heart if it doesn't happen. This business is about doing good work rather than how famous it makes you.

I know plenty of people who do, who get their holidays paid for and in return have their photographs taken on the beach, but not me.

Acting can be a difficult business. When I was younger, if my mates were doing better than me, I might be a little bit envious, but as I have got older, I love to see actors cracking on and succeeding. The same goes for writers.
