Who plays Lorelai Gilmore's first-season fiancé Max Medina on Gilmore Girls?

Scott Cohen plays Max Medina, Lorelai Gilmore's first-season fiancé, on Gilmore Girls.

Max Medina is Rory's English teacher at Chilton, the private school Rory attends after leaving Stars Hollow High. His relationship with Lorelai develops during the first season, creating tension because he teaches her daughter and because Lorelai is still negotiating boundaries with Rory's education.

Lorelai and Max become engaged, but their engagement does not lead to marriage. Their relationship ends before the wedding, and Max later leaves Chilton. The storyline is one of the show's early examples of how Lorelai's romantic life intersects with Rory's school experience and with her responsibilities as a parent.

Scott Cohen is sometimes mixed up with the actors who portray Lorelai's other major romantic interests. David Sutcliffe plays Christopher Hayden, while Scott Patterson plays Luke Danes; neither actor plays Max Medina.
