Michael Mando is a French Canadian cutie hailing from Quebec City. But before that, he spent most of his childhood in Accra, Ghana; Abidjan on the Ivory Coast; and Beirut, Lebanon. As such, he has a knack for languages, and speaks English, French, Arabic, and Spanish. Though he excelled in sports (hockey, football, soccer), he went the academic route and got a scholarship to study psychology and international relations. However, the universe had other plans, and after caching a bullet in the knee, he was assigned two years of rehab. During that time, the acting bug bit and Michael was a goner. He landed guest roles on TV series like Flashpoint, The Border, The Bridge, Lost Girl, and King, and took his first recurring role as Marc-André David in Les Bleus de Ramville in 2012, followed by one as Vaas in the mini-series The Far Cry Experience (2012). The famous Canadian series Orphan Black gave him the role of Vic from 2013-2014, and another mini-series was next, playing Alvara Pessoa in La marraine (2014). And then came the role for which he’s most known, playing Nacho Vargo in over 60 episodes of the AMC series Better Call Saul from 2015-2022. It’s here where we get to see just how much athleticism Michael really possesses, along with the body that accompanies such a trait. And then there’s his move into movies. He played Mac Gargan in Spider-Man: Homecoming (2017) with Tom Holland, and Mark Vega in The Hummingbird Project (2018) with Jesse Eisenberg. Better call Mr. Man, or better yet, don’t call—he’s busy watching Michael!
