Max Matenko

Max Matenko stars as Milo, Justin Russo’s youngest son, in “Wizards Beyond Waverly Place,” a continuation of the Emmy® Award-winning “Wizards of Waverly Place.”

Matenko’s television credits include a recurring role as Simon in “Platonic” and additional roles in “General Hospital” and “This Is Us.” Matenko is often described as “wise beyond his years” or a “45-year-old in a kid’s body.” He loves to interact with people of all ages, and he is unusually adept at giving out sage advice for someone his age, which is what led him to start his own YouTube channel, “The Happy Center,” where he offered advice as a “kid therapist” when he was about 6 years old.

Beyond professional projects, Matenko is a sports enthusiast. He is passionate about tennis and baseball, and he competes in both at an advanced level. He also loves to play golf, ping pong and bowling. He loves sports talk and can hold his own in discussions with adult sports aficionados. He also enjoys traveling, puzzles, board games, learning about astronomy, reading, and spending time with his older sister, Ruby, who is also an actor. He is a dog-lover and loves to play catch with his dog, Mookie.

Matenko currently resides in Los Angeles.
