Aaron Maximillian "Max" Crumm (born October 8, 1985)[1] is an American actor, singer, and the winner of the role of "Danny" on the televised Grease: You're the One that I Want! competition. He played Danny in the 2007 Broadway run of Grease. Crumm starred on Broadway from August 17, 2007, to July 24, 2008.

Life and career

Crumm was born in Pasadena, California, the son of Rachel and Gary Crumm.[2] He has an older sister, Janelle (born c. 1981), and a younger brother, Jack (born c. 2001).[3] Crumm grew up in Phoenix, and was in his first play by the age of 6 and has not stopped performing since then. He graduated from Desert Vista High School in 2003, and then moved to Los Angeles to pursue a career in acting, attending the American Academy of Dramatic Arts in Hollywood. While seeking jobs as an actor, he worked at a gym. In 2006 had a principal role in the film Echoboom.[4]

Also in 2006, he auditioned to be a contestant on the Grease competition. Criticized for his "slacker" attitude and bad haircut, he barely made it onto the show, literally being the last person chosen. However, he won over the judges with very entertaining performances in which he displayed a keen sense of humor. Crumm proceeded to the finals of the show, where on March 18, 2007 it was revealed that he held a 1% difference in voter preference between him and his finalist competitor Austin Miller. On March 25, 2007, Crumm was declared the winner. He began to play the role of Danny on Broadway July 24, 2007, playing alongside the female winner Laura Osnes as Sandy. Crumm and Osnes played their final performances as Danny and Sandy on July 20, 2008. They were replaced by Grease: You're the One that I Want! runners-up Derek Keeling and Ashley Spencer.[5]

Crumm appeared in the Screen Gems comedy Easy A as Pontius; the film co-starred Emma Stone and Amanda Bynes, and was released in the fall of 2010.
