Biography
Max Casella plays Racetrack Higgins in Newsies (my favorite movie).

Racetrack Higgins is a wise-cracking newsie who loves to gamble and go

to the racetrack, thus his name.

But enough about Racetrack, this section is about Max Casella, one of my favorite actors!

Here is some information I picked up about Max:

Fun Facts:
Max used to work in a Broadway theater, hanging lights, cleaning the stage, etc.

Other than acting, Max wanted to become an artist because of his love for drawing

He likes to serenade to his girlfriend on his guitar (AWWW)!
(I'm not sure if he still has the same girlfriend...I got this lil bit of info form a magazine article on 1993...)

*~Even though he puffed on a cigar in Newsies, Max said that he knew not to inhale the smoke but he said it was still a terrible experience because the cigars tasted nasty.~* (Good for you Max!)

Did you know that Max has an AWESOME accent? And he has a wonderful singing voice and dancing talent...*Check out Newsies*

In conclusion...
MAX ROCKS!
