=== This actor provides examples of: ===
 
* [[Ascended Extra]]: He auditioned for one of the main male characters on the show, didn't get it but impressed Ryan Murphy enough for him to call him back for the then-small part of Karofsky, which was expanded when Murphy noticed his potential.
Line 14 ⟶ 13:
* [[Hollywood Pudgy]]: On the show he's been called 'chubby' and 'unattractive', despite being neither. Of course, the words were said during an angry rant...
** Though partially (if loosely) in-universe justified/handwaved/whatever in that Karofsky usually is wearing a heavy letterman jacket and is a lineman. The former tends to be loose around the waist while the latter tends to be stereotyped as heavy around the belly.
* [[Irony Asas She Is Cast|Irony As He Is Cast]]: He's one of the only two actors (the other being [[Jayma Mays]]) in the whole cast to have ''actually'' been in a Glee club, and a successful one, thus meaning he can sing pretty well, but he's playing a character who wants nothing to do with the club.
* [[Lying Creator|Lying Actor]]: Not as much as someone 'cough [[Chris Colfer]] cough', but Max knows what to say and what to withhold about ''[[Glee]]'' and his character's journey.
* [[Mean Character, Nice Actor]]: And ''how''. Probably to be averted in the future as David Karofsky will most probably mellow out during season 3, and there have already been a lot of signs pointing out that he might not be such a bully if he let go. Even so, the contrast between moody teenage boy prone to violence David Karofsky and easy-going, respectful man Max Adler is very sharp. If he'd been given one or two actual interviews before Never Been Kissed, a lot of people would have realised [[He Really Can Act]] much sooner. One wonders if RIB hoped that nobody would pay that much attention to him before the episode for precisely this reason.
** Just... watch his early interactions with Kurt. Now think about the fact that, during their free time, Max and [[Chris Colfer]] are plotting an Oprah musical...
* [[When He Smiles]]: On Glee, Karofsky is usually scowling or otherwise looking pissed. But as his picture here shows, when he's not, he's actually pretty dashing.
