Charles Maury Wallace Sterling (born September 1, 1971) is an American actor. He is known for playing Max Piotrowski in Homeland, Rafferty in the comedy film Beverly Hills Chihuahua, and Lester Tremor in the action film Smokin' Aces.

Early life and education

Sterling was born in Mill Valley, California, and started acting in theater productions at age 7. After graduating from San Francisco University High School, he graduated from UCLA where he was educated in its Theater Department. After graduation, he co-founded the nonprofit Buffalo Nights Theater Company.

Career

Sterling has guest starred on numerous television series, including Judging Amy, ER, Star Trek: Enterprise, 24 and CSI: Crime Scene Investigation to name a few. His only TV series regular was in the sitcom Alright Already, which lasted only one season from 1997-98. It originally aired on the now-defunct WB Television Network.

Sterling has appeared in a number of films, mostly in supporting roles. His prominent role came in the 2006 action film Smokin' Aces where he played Lester Tremor of the psychotic neo-Nazi Tremor Brothers (alongside Chris Pine and Kevin Durand). His role required shaving his head, and shaving his eyebrows off. His other prominent role was in Beverly Hills Chihuahua (2008) as the antagonist Rafferty.

In January 2023, Sterling and his wife co-founded a production company, Little Idea Media, that, among other projects, created the story for the film My Dead Friend Zoe that won several Woodstock Film Festival awards and an Audience Award at South by Southwest (SXSW).

Personal life

Sterling and actress Alexis Boozer were married in 2014 and they have a son.
