Of course I remember, and I remember when he married Juliet Mills. Apparently they are still together. That would mean they have been married for over 30 years....Now that is amazing.

So I guess his hair seen in the linked feature is a toupee, which is a bit disappointing. But wow, he's one helluva handsome man at 55. I actually like his look better now than in his pretty boy youth.

I can't say he looks better to me now. But I wouldn't throw him out of my bed if he showed up there. But boy what a hubba hubba in the Colby's or in Empire Records.

I saw his very early in "Class Enemy" off-Broadway when he played a high school tough guy, but kept his clothes on.

 

That certainly changed by the time of "Salonica' with Jessica Tandy. Max is right in the interview; he was naked on a beach during most of the play. Very impressive! I could not find any photos, but do not remember any strong-arm enforcement against cameras at the Public Theater in NY where the play had its short run.

I believe the only really successful play Max starred in was "Entertaining Mr. Sloane" off-Broadway around 1980. He left the play for "Grease 2." Brad Davis took over in "Sloane."

 

Maybe things would have worked out differently, if Caulfield had stayed with "Entertaining Mr. Sloane," which was sold out every night because of his performance and sex appeal.

Much to my regret I missed "Salonika", but I did see Maxwell Caulfield in "My Night with Reg" a few years later, where he had a nude scene. I was in the very front row, in a very small theater. I fell in love.

 

Here is a link (a long one) to his appearance in "Salonika": https://images.search.yahoo.com/images/view;_ylt=AwrB8qDJo_pUZk0AziWJzbkF;_ylu=X3oDMTIyOHBia2cyBHNlYwNzcgRzbGsDaW1nBG9pZAMwMjAwYzkxNjdiMTM1ZjY2MjVkNDViYWU2YjkzNDc0MgRncG9zAzIEaXQDYmluZw--?.origin=&back=https%3A%2F%2Fimages.search.yahoo.com%2Fsearch%2Fimages%3Fp%3DSalonika%2BPlay%26fr%3Dmcafee%26tab%3Dorganic%26ri%3D2&w=291&h=400&imgurl=1.bp.blogspot.com%2F_LikzyndVj-g%2FSSmpkrh3VoI%2FAAAAAAAAopc%2FNAwgOUx6BWI%2Fs400%2FMaxwell%2BCaulfield49.jpg&rurl=http%3A%2F%2Ffavoritehunks.blogspot.com%2F2008%2F11%2Ffavorite-birthday-boy-for-november-23rd.html&size=27.9KB&name=below+maxwell+on+broadway+opposite+jessica+tandy+in+%3Cb%3Esalonika%3C%2Fb%3E&p=Salonika+Play&oid=0200c9167b135f6625d45bae6b934742&fr2=&fr=mcafee&tt=below+maxwell+on+broadway+opposite+jessica+tandy+in+%3Cb%3Esalonika%3C%2Fb%3E&b=0&ni=21&no=2&ts=&tab=organic&sigr=12mv4gc9e&sigb=12ondpmdr&sigi=12vkg9rf2&sigt=1235q1726&sign=1235q1726&.crumb=DpL7GLAw/OD&fr=mcafee

That photo is not from the play in New York. The women were dressed in modern clothes. And Caulfield may have had a small towel under his head, but certainly not a large beach towel/blanket. I was sitting about fifteen feet away from Maxwell.

 

However, Caulfield may have been in another production of "Salonika."

I saw a poster in Sydney for a show called Legends that he's doing with Hayley Mills and Juliet Mills so he's still working it.

Maxwell Caulfield may be a cult legend for his role in “Empire Records,” but his throngs of fans on social media came after he fought through heartbreak in his early career.

The 61-year-old actor recalled to Page Six what it was like to be set up for stardom at an early age when he was cast in the lead to the sequel to “Grease” — only to temporarily sink into oblivion when the movie tanked.

“It was, psychologically, quite a kick in the pants,” he said.

The bitter taste of watching 1982’s “Grease 2” fail was made even worse by seeing his co-star, a then-little-known actress named Michelle Pfeiffer, head on to stardom, he said.

“And of course, Michelle rose like a Phoenix, right? Did ‘Scarface,’ and that so that made it even, frankly, a little harder to swallow,” he recalled.

“But you know, listen, every actor has his and her own path. She has gone on to multiple Oscar nominations and the rest of it … She delivers and she defines Hollywood beauty…You can’t begrudge them their success. But as I said, simultaneously, it makes it that much tougher to see, that you’ve been benched. And it took a long wait time to come back.”

Caulfield says that “I really couldn’t get arrested for about a year” but slowly began to rebuild his career through tv movies, a role on the “Dynasty” spinoff, “The Colbys,” which ran from 1986 to 1987.

Eventually, he would find a measure of the success he was looking for with his role as aging music idol Rex Manning in 1995’s “Empire Records.”

The movie has become such a cult hit that every April 8 an unofficial Rex Manning Day is observed by throngs of fans on Twitter.

The celebration of the film causes Caulfield equal amounts of bewilderment and bemusement.

“It goes mental,” he said. “I literally have to put out like a statement because I can’t possibly respond to the sort of floodgates that open. My Twitter account normally is just sort of dormant and then suddenly it goes bonkers. And I want to like everything everybody says. So what I tend to do is I put something out that’s meant to appease the masses.”

Most recently, the actor shot an episode of Ryan Murphy’s “American Horror Story” and is hoping that the prolific producer “gets around to telling the Jeffery Epstein story (and) he considers me (for) Prince Andrew.”

He says he met the now infamous royal at a reception in Los Angeles and explains that before the event he had seen the Prince on the local news doing a tour of the Warner Brothers film studio and “doing what royals do, you know, sort of looking and asking questions and sort of smiling and pointing.”

When they met, Caulfield admits that he may have been a “little crass” by commenting to Andrew: “You did a wonderful job of feigning interest at Warner Brothers. He said, ‘We don’t.’ And that was the end of my conversation with that.”

Why is he dressed now like the guy who lives around the corner from everybody, who is spends way too much time chemical spraying, mowing, and watering his front lawn?

Probably photos of Maxwell naked  in off Broadway shows like Entering Mr. Sloan and Salonika are difficult to find now forty years later

MAX ON THE BEACH

Elizabeth Wilson, Maxwell Caulfield and Jessica Tandy in the NY Shakespeare Festival production of Salonika (1985) ...

index.php?id=swope_253889&t=w

Frank Rich in the NEW YORK TIMES, April 3, 1985: In the opening minutes of Louise Page's Salonika, the new English play at the Public Theater, the audience's expectations are heightened by one arresting image after another. Even before the action begins, we see Andrew Jackness's inviting set - a twinkling white Grecian beach, its sand washed smooth by a recent tide. Soon the beach is occupied by a nude male body, sunning itself in the clear rays provided by the lighting designer Paul Gallo. The body, which belongs to the young actor Maxwell Caulfield, is undeniably suitable for exhibition ...

This shot of Wilson and Caulfield ran in PEOPLE magazine ...
