Acting Very Strange is the second and final solo studio album by Genesis guitarist and bassist Mike Rutherford and the only album to feature him on lead vocals. It was released on 7 September 1982. Unlike Rutherford's previous studio album Smallcreep's Day (1980), Acting Very Strange uses a very raw and unpolished sound. None of the album's singles charted in the US or UK top 100, but the lead single "Maxine" did make US Billboard Mainstream Rock Tracks Chart at No. 37. The song was also a top 40 pop hit in Canada, peaking at No. 39. The album itself was much more successful, reaching number 23 in the UK.
