Carlos

Carlos is a dog. He played Max from Max.

Mathilde DeCagny worked with Carlos five days a week for three months to prepare him for his role, which would require the dog to squirm, fight, bite, and emote on command.

But following in the tradition of all great movie mutts, Carlos wasn’t the only Max in “Max.” “We didn’t want to use him for stunts and things where he could potentially get injured and tired,” explained DeCagny.

In total, there were five Belgian Malinois on set, all of whom had to get their faces professionally dyed to match Carlos’s unique look.
