Austin Pendleton (b. 1940) is a bespectacled American character actor who played Max in The Muppet Movie. Pendleton originated the role of Motel in the Broadway musical Fiddler on the Roof in 1964, began his film career with Fred the Professor in Otto Preminger's surreal 1968 drug film Skidoo, and co-starred with Madeline Kahn in What's Up, Doc?. Subsequent movie roles included the stuttering public defender in My Cousin Vinny and an ex-chess champion in Searching for Bobby Fischer. Pendleton's recent film credits include key roles in the Pixar animated feature Finding Nemo, the Academy Award winning A Beautiful Mind, Piccadilly Jim, and Dirty Work.
