The Screen Savers - 'Max Headroom's Matt Frewer Interview

[Iccarus72]

He could have been a Carradine Brother.

[Faxxer248]

Frewer was always a great actor, and highly underappreciated by the masses. This interview is old, but TAKEN was a great series and he shined BRIGHT in it. I want someone to bring frewer back as max headroom and do the show up proper. STEAMPUNK it up people!

[TheSwordofrevenge]

@Faxxer248 steam punk? lol

[Aeolis7]

I miss the old Tech TV.

[waterspindle]

My voice-over hero =)

[davedenisetigg]

I remember watching Max Headroom & my Mam & Dad looking at the tv, pulling annoyed faces then looking at me pissing myself laughing - they'd then shake their heads & walk out

[superunt43]

May I offer simply Eureka, Scy-Fy channel?????

[godisgoodatht]

[z00h]

London... England... where else should it be for fucks sake?

[JoeyJoeJoe5000]

@z00h there are other places that share the name london. Like London, Ontario.

[superunt43]

@JoeyJoeJoe5000 Yes I know my friend, never been there, heard lot about it, do so adore Port Burwell I do, good Perch fishing.

[hootyhaha]

Amanda Pays said at Dallas Comicon that there is interest from those in control of Max Headroom to bring him back.

[hootyhaha]

I was so upset when they took his character out so fast of the Dawn Of The Dead remake. His talent was so superior to all the other actors in that movie. The only thing I could figure was that the newer writers were actually ignorant of who Matt Frewer was and how much of a huge fan base he had, or that because he is such a widely known and talented actor that maybe his costs were higher so they nixed him first.

[keefyd5]

like clint eastwood

[SteampunkPagan]

He played a bad guy on TNG

[NosDemonic]

His features are beyond chiseled, he may be an alien...

[JISINSANE3]

i HAVE GOT A airhammer in my hike and if you did blow up my kids theres going to be pieces of you all over the neighborhood.

[anyvainlegend]

It's sad. Jim Carrey is just a less good-looking, worse-sounding, less funny, less nice, over-acting but more successful Matt Frewer 2.0.

[Aassymcass]

@anyvainlegend It's what happens when Bill Nye The Science Guy and Jim Carrey have a baby.

[ZiddersRooFurry]

@anyvainlegend this



[Wesley683]

would it be scary if the tv hijack would be interrupting this video? that to me, would be scary

[mrEmolitov]

I remember the coke commercials and show... but I dont remember what it was about... hmmmm I dont drink coke anymore anyways... I'm a dr pepper fan lol

[musad786]

The background story provided for the Max Headroom character presents a dystopic look at a run-down near-future dominated by television and large corporations. Max Headroom was shown to have been created from the memories of Edison Carter. The character's name came from the last thing Carter saw during a vehicular accident that put him into a coma: A bar with a sign warning of low clearance, marked "MAX. HEADROOM: 2.3 M".

The original movie was rebroadcast on More4 on 21 October 2007 as part o

[verdigo1]

He should pull that mask out of his closet and set up a green screen. He'd be the most popular person on skype!

[mipmipmipmipmip]

I love all the pixels at 6:10 :)

[purpleshamrock17]

It's amazing that he ever played Sherlock Holmes (in four Canadian TV movies) as he seems more known for comedy. I know everyone has their favorite Holmes, but he was the first actor I watched as Holmes before even I watched the old Brett and Rathbone interpretations.

[sixtopian]

Bring back Max Headroom!

[MonacoBlast]

Somebody feed this guy!

[blueguyagain]

He is my double. Regularly mistaken for Matt. Liked all his shows, including Doctor, Doctor.

[shiva1055]

hate bad interviewers

[Hiraghm]

12 episodes of Max Headroom

11 episodes of Firefly...

It's a conspiracy I tell you...

[alifeson85]

He's GOTTA be related to Jim Carrey somehow...GOTTA be...

[popoff21]

He's a cool person I liked watching max head room when I was 3, me and him share the same birthday january 4

[hootyhaha]

May 21-2011.. pretty soon there might be video of Amanda Pays up on youtube or vimeo saying that producers are looking at the possibility to bring back Max Headroom since his newest Channel 4 commercials were so well received. Look up Max Headroom Is Back Channel 4.

[ShadowBomber19]

Wow never thought I would miss Martin Sargent.... :/ I nostalgia'd hard I Remember watching this on TSS

[NeloAngelo33]

1:36 Best answer to anything. Ever.

[thesoulsekr]

I'm sure he was the guy who played Russ Thompson on "Honey I Shrunk The Kids".

[nightowl685]

@thesoulsekr he was indeed :)

[starsiegeplayer]

If they did it today, he probably wouldn't need the prosthetic makeup.

[supercyberfunk]

Being interviewed, he seems to stutter a bit like Max Headroom.

[tonimusher]

Frewer is freaking awesome! Love the guy! I would love all the Max Headroom episodes on dvd, would watch them over and over =D xxx

[Anthrax2404]

@tonimusher check out Amazon.com...

[tonimusher]

@tonimusher Thats a very good idea, I never thought of that! trouble is, I am in region 2 and even tho Max was made in the UK most of the dvd's seem to be for americax

[carmovision]

1:36 - And of course, they have him on a TV screen. xD

[Nursesaids]

I miss TechTV.

[HoserSaysWhat]

Is he Canadian? He sure sounds Canadian

[hilarioph]

Even Max headroom was doing his

80's image. Even he was wearing a rubber

suit. But the girl Miku she was a CGI cpu

then Max headroom find out on YOUTUBE.

I never watch the mini series Taken. They

aired on star movies back in 2004 :-(

[RainJetSprinklers]

He's actually kind of like Max in real life.

[terminalsoup]

My question would be: "about how much coke DID you do before becoming Max Headroom?"

[lU2BE2]

Max Headroom ftw

[theflotingheadproduc]

bring back Max Headroom!!!!!

[joecassara]

Matt Frewer's great. But the host is just one out of a long line of douchebags (except for Leo) on this pathetic television network.

[lemonlimestiv]

i like this guy!

he's funny guy!

[MrJacMac1986]

They used to have a tv screen at the line to wait for a roller coaster called the scream machine at six flags over georgia that had a talking buzzard named Buford. He would talk to the people in line. This was in the 1970's. He was kind of like an early forerunner to Max Headroom except he didnt stutter

[sickcartoons]

They should bring this back it would be awesome still today.

[ThePalominoGal]

Can't believe Tech. has caught up with the max Headroom show. The theater and even MacDonarlds has the TV screen type board that change. All it needs is Max Headroom talking on it. Just think what they could do with our Tech now. I would love to see a come back of some sort.

[MrStephenRGilman]

With all the reboots and remakes these days, it would be SO easy to do a Max Headroom movie with real CGI. Frewer could do all his voice work from his house!

[mipmipmipmipmip]

@MrStephenRGilman it wouldn't be as cool with CGI. They would have to work hard to give it the liveliness of 1980s video technology.

[frecklesdk]

max headroom the series was way ahead of its time get it and watch it

[videocircus]

I just purchased the entire show on DVD......what a blast into the past LOL.

The show is actually really decent and was well ahead of it's time. I am on the last episode now and have enjoyed watching the show very much.

[SkylineR33T]

Matt cracks me up- he makes the same facial expressions as Max did and talks in a "max-way" when the "re-incarnation" comes up 24 seconds into the interview ;-) To bad he wasn't in the interviews on the bonus-dvd that's been released a couple of weeks ago.... The LONG wait for a dvd-version was finally over! Max was/ is a great serie- maybe not as "high-tech" and graphic as the current computer generated blue screen stories, but great to watch again..... and again...... and again.

[1986Crashoverride]

@SkylineR33T

Dude....you've seen the future, you've seen ARCADE

[hazlittmedia]

Man, he does have a pinch of fat on him!

[dhinge]

Amazingly he doesn't look as old as the new British Channel 4 digital TV commercials; I think he could still do Max Headroom!

The new British TV commercials put him in a suit that's too small, don't give him his hair back, and don't put in the silver eye contacts. He looks about 80 years old in them. He's only 4 years older than Jim Carrey so there's no reason he couldn't do it again.

[wwedude345]

@dhinge The reason why they did that is to make him look old, for digital TV.

[dhinge]

@wwedude345 But, digital TV is new, and Max Headroom is digital... how does that make sense?

[wwedude345]

@dhinge Yes but if you think about it, he didn't look as young in the 80's as max headroom, he looked late 30's when he really wasn't that old. so in the commercials they had to make him look old. Also it is to show how far digital age has come.

[Liberal1969]

I had such a crush on this guy when the Max Headroom series was running. I would still take him on. He's quite the handsome fella.

[nexgenhippy]

Imagine the prospect of Max getting loose on the 'net?

[Crimsonphilosophy]

honey i shrunk the kids!!!

[TheZepmeister]

I liked him in Dawn of the dead.

[timslucky]

Is this Jack from Jack in the Box?

[ostomyboy]

Matt was on "EUREKA" for the first year or two, then he left, but he came back to the series last year. I hope he's in this season also, returning in July. He's a good actor, but sadly I don't see him doing very much. (He was also in Stephen King's "The Stand".)

[lemonjellies]

A revival movie would be awesome and with make up on it would be as if Matt/Max had never aged.

[Peacedove9]

Man, I didn't really it was only 12 episodes. No wonder I couldn't find any more. Anyway, I absolutely love his voice!

[EvilMuppet1979]

Damn it, I saw this guy in Watchmen and I knew he looked familiar. I'm kicking myself now.

[NuclearLullaby]

He's in a very strange Generation X video! & I guess he currently does voices on a few cartoon shows!

[MrWombatPPC]

he's not aged that bad me thinks.

[dotchoo]

@MrWombatPPC no and i can't believe it's him talking like that, all i can see is Sherlock Holmes with a weird accent

[AshLuvsJonnyStew]

frewer is hot

[heavensxnight]

@AshLuvsJonnyStew So you're one of those May-December romance kinda girls, eh? *snrk*

[AshLuvsJonnyStew]

[sleepeeg3]

@AshLuvsJonnyStew He looks like Lurch.

[akaboo69]

[wordofadvice1]
