A Filipino fox most recognizable as the super hot, fake monk but real dimwitted Jacksonville Jaguars fan Jason Mendoza on NBC's The Good Place, Manny Jacinto had actually been working steadily in Canadian and American projects for years before he landed his big break. Born in Manila, his family emigrated to Canada when he was just a kid, and he primarily grew up in British Columbia. His showbiz career began with participating in hip-hop dance competitions, which probably explains why he has a head spinningly sexy body and can still pop and lock when need be. After studying Civil Engineering at the University of British Columbia, he moved to LA and began popping up on shows like Once Upon a Time, Supernatural, The 100 and iZombie. In 2014 he played Eric, the bad influence who led Dustin Diamond down a dark path in The Unauthorized Saved by the Bell Story, but just two years later he would land a role that cemented him in TV history. Yes, his work on NBC's afterlife comedy The Good Place bumped him up to a whole new level of fame, and garnered Manny critical acclaim for playing against Asian stereotypes and becoming a bonerfide sex symbol. This isn't all that surprising because he has a jawline that could cut glass and the body of, well, a hip-hop dancer, which he shows off while swimming in a pool. While that show wrapped up in 2020, Manny's played Code in Netflix's horror noir Brand New Cherry Flavor, Nate Cordero on the thriller podcast Last Known Position, and most erotically, Yao on Hulu's Nine Perfect Strangers. Yao's a hippy dippy typed who works at the wellness center but we felt most well when we got to see his ass while he's engaged in some sexual healing. Yow-za that thing's tight! Manny landed a role on the big screen in Bad Times at the El Royale (2018), opposite Chris Hemsworth and joined the cast of Top Gun: Maverick (2022), opposite THE Tom Cruise. That's some seriously sexy company to keep! We couldn't keep our eyes off him when he took his shirt off in preparation of a threesome in I Want You Back (2022). Seeing how shredded he is with his new sexy long hair, we haven't been able to get it back down ever since. It's not our fault, Manny's got an amazing fanny!
