Manny Jacinto, originally from Richmond, Canada, moved to Los Angeles to pursue acting, expecting to face multiple rejections before any success. Instead, he landed a starring role in NBC's 'The Good Place' just months after arriving in 2016, significantly changing his career trajectory. Since then, he has appeared in several notable projects, including 'Nine Perfect Strangers', 'Top Gun: Maverick', and 'The Acolyte'. In his latest film, 'Freakier Friday', he plays Eric Reyes, showcasing a dream come true for him as he acts alongside stars like Jamie Lee Curtis and Lindsay Lohan. Jacinto cherishes his perfect day in LA involving meditation, workouts, and dining at a Filipino restaurant with loved ones.
"In my head, I was going to come here a few times... I was going to try pilot [season] once, fail, come back next year, fail again..."
"But just a few months after relocating to L.A. in 2016, he nabbed a starring role in NBC's 'The Good Place,' and 'it just changed my life.'"
"Little Manny, who was waking up on a Sunday [and] watching cartoons, would have never thought he'd be acting opposite Jamie Lee Curtis and Lindsay Lohan."
"I typically don't really eat until after 11 a.m., but if I need something in my stomach, I will make a shake."
