Max Sweeney
Max Sweeney (born Moira Sweeney), is a fictional character from the American Showtime television drama series The L Word, played by Daniela Sea. Max debuted on-screen during the first episode of season three and remained until the final episode. Max is a transman still undergoing the transition stages to become transgender. Many storylines have centered around this and his relationship with Jenny Schecter who enjoys victimising him in later series.

Storylines
Moira accompanies Jenny on her return to Los Angeles from Skokie, Illinois. Moira's butch gender identity and working class background clash with Jenny Schecter's (Mia Kirshner) circle of friends. Turned down for work as a computer programmer, Moira begins transitioning with grey market male hormones and no medical assistance, and adopts the name Max. Max gets a well-paying job as a programmer with the same company that turned down Moira. His changing behavior causes friction with Jenny, who loses interest as Max continues his transition and later dumps him for a more feminine French girlfriend.

Max gets medical and psychiatric support for his transitioning, and has an uncomfortable dating relationship with his boss' daughter. Later, Max comes out as transgender at work. In the ninth episode of the season, Max receives a phone call from home. His sister Maggie Sweeney (Tara Frederick) tells him that his mother has died, but also tells Max that she doesn't want him to come home to attend the funeral. Hostility from his managers and coworkers from throughout the season prompt Max to quit his job. The season ends with him contemplating breast removal.

Max, having decided not to have surgery, works as Alice's technical support and continues living with Jenny and Shane. He becomes suspicious of Jenny's new assistant, Adele Channing (Malaya Rivera Drew). He sleeps with Jodi Lerner's (Marlee Matlin) sign interpreter Tom Mater (Jon Wolfe Nelson).

Max decides to move forward with sexual reassignment surgery, but is deterred after learning that he is pregnant. He and Tom are unsure of how to proceed, but Tom seems interested in raising the child with him. However, after Max finds Tom flirting with another man in a nightclub, Tom's lack of commitment becomes apparent leading to Tom leaving Max unexpectedly during the night.

Jenny angers Max during Max's baby shower that Jenny threw in the theme of Willy Wonka & The Chocolate Factory. Jenny makes a spectacle of Max's femininity, although Max is determined to remain a man, even through the pregnancy. She purchases for him a breast pump, and tells him that he is a beautiful woman. Max begs Bette Porter (Jennifer Beals) and Tina Kennard (Laurel Holloman) to adopt his baby, stating that he can't be a father, Bette and Tina do not accept the proposal.

By the final episode of the series, Max still feels belittled and betrayed by Jenny's unacceptance of his transgender status. But after Jenny is found dead in Bette and Tina's pool (for reasons unknown), Max admits during an interrogation at a police station that he warmly credits Jenny for being the first person to help him come to terms with his true identity. Also, he appears to be beginning to bond with his unborn child.

The Interrogation Tapes
About a month after the series ends, more footage of Max's police interrogation appears on Showtime's L Word website ("The Interrogation Tapes"). Max elaborates on his love/hate relationship with Jenny, and suspects that Jenny's poor treatment of him might have inspired Tom to abandon him.

Casting
"I started on that when I was fourteen, I moved down here with a whole bunch of kids [...] Well in actual fact I think it was a fantastic training ground, as a result Antonia Prebble and I talked about it because she's a good friend of mine, and we think it's given us some really good discipline just turning up and being on time and kowing your lines [...] It's a fantasic level of expierience when you can have spent that much time infron of cameras."

Characterisation
The drama's official website describe Amber's persona stating: "An attractive, fiery, intelligent girl who initially assumes control of the group through her natural leadership qualities. Amber has had to become streetwise the hard way, though her background is middle-class, private school education. She's fiercely moral and determined that something positive will come out of their predicament. This leads her to sometimes be too hard on everyone, herself in particular. In reality, a sensitive, caring soul, Amber has a great longing for love deep inside her, which she keeps hidden, fearing that to reveal it will make her weak."

She called her relationship with Max "genuinely sweet", but disliked Steph being "saddled with portent of doom Tom" then later paired with Gilly, quipping: "No wonder that, gazing upon his face, she realised she was better off burning to death than enduring one more day staring at him."
