Maximillian Silberman (31 March 1992 - 19 June 2017)[citation needed] was an American actor and model, best known for his role in the music video for Madness by the band Muse.[1] He is Jewish.[2]
Early Life
[edit]At age 15, he spent eight months as a student at Island View Residential Treatment Centre[3] before being dissmissed after falsely showing improvement to the staff and his family.[3] He later moved to Los Angeles, California.[1]
Career
[edit]Silberman worked as a model from 2010 onwards, working with several photographers. He eventually landed a somewhat major role as "Man on the Train" in the music video for Madness by Muse[1], which helped to grow his career.
Silberman would not accept any roles requiring full nudity[1]
Death
[edit]Silberman died of a drug overdose in 2017[1]. Reporter Sebastian Murdock stated that "his time at Island View [...] contributed to his spiral into drug addiction", and that Silberman himself said that he's "not a bad guy, man, I've just been robbed of my childhood" while at the hospital attempting to recover from his addiction.
