Parents are only one rung above politicians, though. You always know when they're lying. Their lips move.

Max Headroom


Max Headroom (created 2004)[1] was an artificial intelligence of the early 21st century. Headroom was created by Network 23 employee Bryce Lynch as a computer generated television host to impersonate Edison Carter after the network attempted to silence the latter's investigation into the Blipvert Project.[2]

Notes[]

Behind the Scenes[]

  • Headroom was played by Canadian actor Matt Frewer.[3][4] Frewer won the part after successfully auditioning for both the Max Headroom and Edison Carter parts.[5]

Trivia[]

In-universe[]

  • It's unclear whether Headroom continued being broadcast following the Big Time Television van's antenna being knocked off when they collided with the overhanging sign.

Appearances[]

  • Max Headroom: 20 Minutes into the Future (first appearance)
