Career
Records first became famous for the main role in Where the Wild Things Are, when he was hired personally by Spike Jonze.[5] Records's father, who is a photographer, was asked to send the company information of actors fitting a certain description, Max happened to fit it so his information was also provided.
Before being cast in Where the Wild Things Are, Records starred in a music video for the band Death Cab for Cutie.[5]
After Where the Wild Things Are, his most notable roles are Young Stephen in The Brothers Bloom, and Slater Pedula in The Sitter.
Records is co-starring with Christopher Lloyd as John Wayne Cleaver in the film, I Am Not a Serial Killer, shot in 2015[6] and released in early 2016. Rolling Stone described the role as "a homicidal Midwestern teen who has to kill a mass murderer in order to stop becoming one himself".[7]
