Born Philip Goldstein on Dec. 21, 1950 in Ithaca, New York, he created the character of Max Maven in the mid-‘70s, always dressing in black with a distinctive widow’s peak.

He appeared on hundreds of television and radio programs, including the lead role on Count DeClues’ Mystery Castle for the Fox network and guest-starring parts on Mork & Mindy, Fresh Prince of Bel-Air and General Hospital. In 1998, Maven developed and starred in the Canadian series, The MAXimum Dimension, an offbeat educational show for younger viewers involving recreational mathematics which aired for 26 episodes on the TVO Network.
Other credits include hosting eight network specials in Japan and creating a pair of specials in Thailand.

The show set a ratings record on HTV and led to a second series the following year. The Max Mystery Show. He was prominently featured on the 1998 PBS
