In college, McLean had written reviews of plays for an English class, Drama as Literature, but the acting bug didn’t hit until his senior year in college. McLean, who has also starred in Mark’s Gospel and The Screwtape Letters on stage, performed his play 287 times in sixty-four cities from 2016 until the pandemic shut down touring. Lewis on Stage: The Most Reluctant Convert into the cinematic The Most Reluctant Convert: The Untold Story of C.S. Lewis is abundantly clear, as the actor/playwright worked to see his play C.S. Lewis, a one-night only event on November 3. Lewis, and the origins of The Most Reluctant Convert: The Untold Story of C.S. Now, settling in to tell his story from his apartment a mere ten minutes from the passenger ship terminal where he immigrated into America, the storyteller shares openly about his love for C.S. While they met at the movie theater where his mother took tickets, McLean says that his earliest film memory, a bullfighting movie, left him traumatized, and it’s the stage that drew him into acting. As a Spanish-speaking four-year-old, Max McLean admits he was “highly motivated” to learn English, as his American soldier stepfather and his mother moved the family to New York City.
