Max Brady is a fictional character on the soap opera Days of Our Lives, and was portrayed by Darin Brooks from June 21, 2005, to July 7, 2009,[1] and March 15 and 16, 2010.

In November 2012, Brooks hinted on social media that he was possibly contemplating reprising the role of Max Brady in the near future; however, he ultimately did not return.

Frankie and Max are legally adopted by Kayla's parents Shawn and Caroline Brady (Peggy McCay).

In mid-2005, more than a decade later, Jennifer Horton Deveraux (Melissa Reeves) runs into Max at the racetrack and renews ties with both him and Frankie.

When Chelsea is blamed for the accidental death of Zack Brady, Max stands by her side and keeps her dark secret for as long as possible.

When Mimi experiences a variety of personal and family difficulties, he tries to stand by her, but ultimately confides in Abigail that he finds it difficult and does not know what to do with his life.

Jeremy Horton, Jennifer's nephew, convinces Max to become his financial officer for Touch the Sky Airlines and also to join his side business of smuggling of what he believes to be designer clothes.

It is eventually revealed that the airline and clothes smuggling were both fronts for a human trafficking ring, and Max loses his garage in the subsequent investigation.

It seems he is trying to interfere with Nick Fallon's proposal for a grant to develop green energy, but in actuality he ends up correcting errors in a way that demonstrates a significant competence in mathematics and science.

Max's biological father reemerges as Trent Robbins, the dean of the physics department at Salem University, as well as his half-sister Melanie Layton.
