 Max Elliott Slade mini-bio: Max Elliot Slade was born on July 4th, 1980 in Pasedena, California. One
of his first acting roles was as the child version of Steve Martin's
character Gil in the hit comedy Parenthood (1989) and, the following
year, he went on to play Gil's nine-year-old son Kevin in the
"Parenthood" (1990) television show where he rubbed shoulders with a
young Leonardo DiCaprio and Thora Birch.
However, Max is best known for his role as Colt, the most boisterous of
three brothers, in the children's martial arts' films 3 Ninjas (1992), 3
Ninjas Kick Back (1994) and 3 Ninjas Knuckle Up (1995). In preparation for
the role, he studied karate in real life and earned his brown belt while
filming the last of the trilogy. He was also the only original child actor
to complete all three films after his co-stars Michael Treanor and Chad
Power, who played his on-screen brothers, left after 'Kick Back'.
Although he did continue to act after the '3 Ninjas' films, notably the
role of Tom Hank's screen son in Apollo 13 (1995) at the age of fourteen,
he stepped out of the acting scene by his mid-teens to focus on school and
his first love, music. He was seven years old when he was first introduced
to the guitar by his grandfather and it was a gift he nurtured as he grew
up. Max has since set up his own Los Angeles-based band 'Haden' where he
plays lead guitar and vocal. He also attends the University of Southern
California where he is studying anthropology.
