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.
