Max Minghella He did not always want to become an actor. He said: "I thought it was sort of embarrassing to say you wanted to be an actor it was, like, uncool. And growing up I was massively concerned with seeming cool. I thought up until about age 16 that I was going to be a music video director." Minghella had an uncredited appearance as an extra in his father's film "Cold Mountain". His first professional role was in "Bee Season", playing the son of a dysfunctional Jewish American family.
