Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Max Giorgio Choa Minghella (born 16 September 1985) is an English actor. The son of late film director Anthony Minghella, he has appeared in several dramatic American films, making his feature film debut in 2005's Bee Season and starring in 2006's Art School Confidential. He also appears as Divya Narendra, one of the Harvard upperclassmen who sues Mark Zuckerberg for stealing the idea behind Facebook, in 2010's The Social Network. Minghella was born in Hampstead, London, the son of Academy Award-winning director Anthony Minghella and dancer/choreographer Carolyn Choa. His father was of Italian descent and his mother, a native of Hong Kong, is of Chinese and Scottish ancestry. Minghella spent time on his father's film sets while growing up, of which he has "fond memories," and has said that he felt "no pressure" by his father to succeed in the entertainment industry. Minghella was educated at two independent schools: at St Anthony's Preparatory School and University College School in Hampstead. He then attended Columbia University, which he considered his "first priority," as part of the class of 2009.
