Born in Queens, New York and raised in Scottsdale, Arizona, Adler moved to Los Angeles immediately after graduating high school to pursue his dream of becoming an actor. Max Adler, a cast member of the Golden Globe Winner for Best Television Series - Comedy (Glee) and a Screen Actors Guild Award nominee for Outstanding Performance by an Ensemble in a Comedy Series (Glee) moved on from his groundbreaking role as the slushy throwing homophobic bully Dave Karofsky on Glee to tackle another controversial, buzzed about character, Tank, in the Peabody Award winning series Switched at Birth. Adler then worked with Woody Allen in Cafe Society, Clint Eastwood in Sully, was recently a lead in the film Mope, based on the shocking true story, which premiered at Sundance 2019, and can also be seen in front of the camera in Aaron Sorkin's Trial of the Chicago 7, which Adler also co-executive produced, and behind the camera as Executive Producer of Foster Boy. He has recurred on the final few seasons of The Flash on the CW, the soap opera Young & The Restless, and has guest starred in such shows as The Big Bang Theory, Mom, Bones, Criminal Minds, much more. Adler is also heavily involved with GLAAD, The Trevor Project, and the Muscular Dystrophy Association, constantly raising money and awareness.
