IN CONVERSATION WITH
Maxwell Jenkins 06
M
axwell Jenkins has always been performing. Raised around the circus and film sets, while still attending public school, the Chicago native is
unsurprisingly wise beyond his years, warm-hearted, ambitious — and extremely close to his family. Now, on the cusp of adulthood and with a decade’s worth of experience under his belt, the soon-to-be 18-year-old multitalented actor enjoys branching out and finding new meaning in his craft. At the end of last year, he headed to Ireland to work on Ben Brewer’s survival action-thriller Arcadian and began 2023 with his carefully prepared supporting performance in the AppleTV+ drama Dear Edward. One person who understands the feeling of growing up on camera is Jaeden Martell. To celebrate this career turning point, Maxwell sat down with one of his latest on-screen brothers to discuss moving on from Lost in Space, share his refreshing and wide-eyed perspective on life, and give a first glimpse of their upcoming post-apocalyptic movie. This interview has been edited and condensed for clarity.
