The actors name is Andrew Oh. I don't think he is blind as he was an animator for the film Cats and Mice (2003). I got this info of the IMDB.

hmmmm, wonder if there is a connection, did Miller use a sax player to evoke the memories of Jessy plaing the sax in mm1?

Dave H.: Good observation! Personally I don't think Miller was that...complicated(?)...in his thinking, but's it's possible. Good eye, mate.

Really, Redd?

What about the Hurdy Gurdy Max found in MM2?

Wasn't Jessie's Saxephone song "Happy Birthday" as well?

Put it this way, we see a music-making device in each MM movie:

MM1: Sax.

MM2: Little music box Max finds and gives to the Feral kid.

MM3: Sax and whistle.
