Max Brumberg: Slovakian flute crafter, drag theologian, Russian-Austrian-Uzbek actor. With Uzbek dicks.

I don't know what led me to the 2021 movie Play it Cool, with someone named Reggiemolo (Alex Jason Lee King) on a cross-country trip where he's mistaken for a criminal and meets The Girl -- the trailer shows them kissing a thousand times, so it's definitely a "no way!"  But far down the cast list was a cute guy named Max Brumbaugh.

The name resonated because when I was a kid, there was a "haunted house" on my grandfather's property that belonged to the Brumbaugh family.  So I decided to research him.

Rather a difficult task.  First, his last name isn't Brumbaugh, it's Brunberg.  No, it's Brumberg, with an "m," and there are a lot of Max Brumbergs out there. 



1. Max Brumberg who makes flutes in the traditional manner, with traditional materials: "Each one is produced on an individual basis, just as in nature each branch grows as a perfect individual, it acquires its own voice by the craft of my hand."  He makes Slovakian fujaras, Moldavian kavals, overtone flutes, double flutes, and many other types, out of his store in Sainte-Croix-Vallée-Français, about two hours north of Montpellier.



Another Max Brumberg is Max Brumberg-Kraus, he/him or they/them.  They are the co-founder of the House of Larva Drag Co-operative, performing as drag persona Çicada L’Amour, producing both small acts and full-length queer peformance art, and a member of the ARC community: "a creative collaboration for theopoetics."

They graduated from the United Theological Seminary in 2020 with a M.A. in theology and the arts, and research interests in queer temporality, queer and feminist theology, cosmology, mythopoetics, ancient tragedy, midrash, embodiment, and reception theory.   They're the author of The(y)-ology: Mythopoetics for Gay/Trans Liberation.



Then there's the grad student at the Institute of Russian History in Moscow, and his aroused cucumber.







From Linkedin, IMDB, and an article in Voyager, I've pieced together the life of Max Brumberg, actor.  Of Uzbek and Russian Jewish ancestry.

Fluent in English, French, German, and Russian.  Not Uzbek?

 Grew up in Vienna got a M.S. in real estate from Newcastle University in Britain and took a job in Real Estate Structured Finance Sales, traveling between Vienna, Belgrade, and Bucharest while acting in commercials and doing stand-up comedy. 

While he was working as a manager at Saxon Bank in Zurich, Max realized that "something was missing...there was a void in my life." So he moved to L.A. and enrolled at the Stella Adler School of Acting. 

So far he has only six acting credits on the IMDB:

More after the break




1. Play it Cool

2. Enver in the short The American Ambassador (2019), about the Armenian genocide

3. David in the short They Know the Way (2020), which he also directed, about a man and a woman on a boat.  

4. An Uzbek soldier in one episode of The Old Man, with a retired CIA agent, Jeff Bridges,left,  being chased by his agency and "his nightmares"


Left: an Uzbek guy.

Future projects:

5. Qusay Hussein in Guillotine, a documentary about guillotines

6. Hudson Guerero in The Cherriest Jam, about a "vicious mafia turf war"


Max's Instagram reveals no beefcake pics, but he's often shown with buddies.  Here he is with JoshHK69.   69, har har.

So maybe he's...






Wait -- Max has a girlfriend?  He's straight?  

No nudity, no beefcake, only one movie, and he's straight!  What a rip-off!







Could we get back to Max Brumberg-Kraus and the theopoetics of drag? Maybe they'll invite us to Hanukah dinner.

And get another Uzbek guy up in here.
