Max

Max is an extraterrestrial who serves as Gus's guide during his "journey through space". He is possibly associated with the Party People as he accompanies them to Gus's birthday party. He is seemingly sent to Earth in order to find an up and coming filmmaker capable of defeating Tim Burton in a film-making competition, eventually choosing Gus for the task. He has a tense relationship with Burton, implying at one point that Burton nearly cost him the use of his arms. It is eventually revealed that Smokey the Bear, an entity believed by some to by a god, is actually just Max. He is played by Max Wilson.
