Max

Played by Richard Gere

The son of a Pennsylvania steel magnate, Max sold his father’s factories to build a newsprint empire. His marriage to British aristocrat Kathryn was swiftly followed by his takeover of prestigious UK broadsheet The National Reporter. Now divorced from Kathryn, Max is one of the most powerful men on the planet. Prime Ministers beg for personal meetings, knowing that his support might make or break an election. His access to information is unrivalled and as a result he is able to control almost every aspect of his life, both personal and professional.
