Max Loong (born March 8, 1980 in Malaysia) is an actor, host and producer of Swiss and Chinese (Malaysian) descent. Swiss entertainment magazine Schweizer Illustrierte 〔Schweizer Illustrierte〕 ranked him as one of the top 100 most important and influential Swiss personalities in 2007. In the same year, Elle Magazine 〔Elle Magazine〕 Singapore awarded him the ‘Breakout Star of the year’ award. Among some of his most recognisable works, he has been the host of MusicStar,〔Musicstar〕 the Swiss equivalent of American Idol, and also filled a role as the lead character (Michael Wong) of Singapore’s Emmy nominated comedy First Class.〔First Class (TV Series)〕 ==Life== Max was born in Malaysia to a Swiss mother and a Chinese-Malaysian father. His father was a race car driver in the 70's and his mother worked for Christie's auction house in Zurich. His grandmother, Rosemarie Volz was an Opera singer in Switzerland in the 1940s and 1950s. When he was three, Max moved to Switzerland. Shortly after graduating Kantonsschule Hottingen 〔Kantonsschulen des Kantons Zürich〕 with a degree in economics in 2000, he got in contact with VIVA Schweiz, at this time Switzerland's top ranking music channel. This was eventually where he landed his first on-screen job as a TV host. In 2004 he trained at the Lee Strasberg Theatre and Film Institute 〔Lee Strasberg Theatre and Film Institute〕 in Los Angeles, where he discovered his passion for acting. His fellow students and teachers cast him in independent movies such as The Intervention or Syndicate:Zeed. Max took a short break from life in the states and headed to Singapore in 2006, in part to rediscover his Asian roots and be closer to his family in Malaysia. As an MTV VJ and actor, he went on to become a popular television personality in South East Asia. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Max Loong」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
