Film career

Max Julien Did You Know The Actor Who Played Goldie In The Mack Is A Nupe Who

A classically trained actor, Julien began his career on the stage in New York's Off-Broadway circuit including Joseph Papp's Shakespeare-In-The-Park. Moving westward to Hollywood, he landed co-starring roles with Jack Nicholson in Psych-Out and Candice Bergen in Columbia's box-office hit film Getting Straight. While spending time in Rome, Italy, he wrote and directed a documentary called Trestevre, then wrote the screenplay for, and subsequently co-produced, Warner Brothers's blaxplotation classic Cleopatra Jones, which starred actress Tamara Dobson in the title role as a narcotics agent who was as skilled in martial arts as she was with firearms. Julien refused to participate in the sequel, Cleopatra Jones and the Casino of Gold, which led to his being credited instead with the film's story and script both being "based on characters created by Max Julien".

For his performance in 1968's Up Tight!, New York Times movie critic Judith Crist stated that Julien was "a standout in a standout cast." Raoul Gripenwaldt from the Santa Monica Evening Outlook once wrote: "Max Julien's portrayal of Johnny Wells in Paramount's Uptight could very well result in an Academy Award." The Hollywood Reporter chimed in: "Max Julien creates a memorable piece of reality." As a reward he was invited to Europe to discuss film possibilities.
