Manny Jacinto for Lofficiel Phillipines
For the literate ONTDers:
- Was a practicing Civil Engineer, graduated from University of British Columbia
- Quit because he noticed the supervisors were very grump people and he didn't want to become like them
- Started out in dance which got him into acting
- has a fiancee (my bussy still quivers for you Manny!)
- Wants to try different genres, wheter it be big flix like Marvel/DC, or something indie
- Before he landed 'The Good Place' he auditioned for whatever since he didn't have a lot of opportunities
- Didn't have any input in The Good Place but the showrunner did incorporate his love of dance into the character
- Manny mentioned to the showrunner that it was rare to see 2 filipino characters in the same scene, which then led to The episode of Jason, Pillboi and Donkey Doug
- Wants to see a more diverse face to lead characters, more diverse stories, less recycled ideas and reboots.
