Max Landstein (born 20 April 1933), known as Monte Landis, is a Scottish-American film and television actor.[1] He is perhaps best known for playing the comic foil in multiple episodes of The Monkees, most notably as Mr. Zero in the episode "The Devil and Peter Tork". He began his career in Britain before moving to the United States in 1963. He also had a career in Paris in the mid-1950s as emcee in cabarets and jazz clubs (Crazy Horse, Club Saint-Germain, etc.) -he played his own role later in Charade (1963)- and choreographer for the French vocal group The Blue Stars of France.[2]
