Max Phipps played The Toadie in Mad Max 2.
He is Humungus' obsequious servant, announcing his master's various invented titles – Lord Humungus, the Warrior of the Wasteland, the Ayatollah of Rock and Rolla.
This production still effectively alerts us to the Toadie's joke-like character. Small in stature, with glasses and a Napoleonic-era style hat – worn sideways and covered in an animal's pelt – he is clearly a character that cannot be taken seriously. This is reinforced by the comical expression on his face in the photo.
