S1:26 #throwback: Mike C. Manning is an Emmy-winning American actor, producer, reality television personality and activist. Manning gained fame as a cast member on the MTV series The Real World: D.C. before subsequently embarking on an acting career, appearing in a number of films and television programs, such as the 2014 Disney Channel original movie Cloud 9, in which he played Nick Swift, Hawaii Five-0, Love Is All You Need? (2016), Teen Wolf, The Call, Son of the South and Days of Our Lives. As a producer, his work includes the documentary Kidnapped for Christ, and The Bay, which won the 2020 Daytime Emmy Award for Outstanding Digital Daytime Drama Series. Additionally, Manning won the 2021 Daytime Emmy Award Outstanding Performance By a Supporting Actor in a Daytime Fiction Program for his performance as Caleb McKinnon.
Lindsey and Mike became friends long before Hollywood and shortly before his TV career started in 2009 when Manning publicly came out as bisexual. In his pre-show interviews, Manning described himself as a "pile of contradictions," and indicated that his time in D.C. would be a turning point for him and the question of whether his family would accept his sexuality. Since the show, Mike has stated that being on The Real World: DC helped him to realize the power of television to help influence public opinion and create social change, and was ultimately a large part in his decision to help found the production company Lucky Mann Productions. We highly recommend checking out some of Mike's latest works such as The Way Out (avail everywhere digitally), The Call and Slapface (streaming on SHUDDER).
