Biography
Jason Mendoza made Manny Jacinto's name. The Good Place ran four seasons on NBC (2016–2020), and Jacinto's portrayal of the eternally confused demon-study subject became the show's anchor—a character who started as comedic relief and evolved into genuine emotional weight. Born August 19, 1987, Jacinto is Canadian, though his family name carries Filipino roots. Since The Good Place wrapped, he's appeared in Bad Times at the El Royale (2018), a grimy neo-noir ensemble piece, and Top Gun: Maverick (2022), where he had a minor role in the blockbuster sequel. In 2024, he played the Stranger—also known as Qimir—in Star Wars: The Acolyte, a high-profile role in Lucasfilm's live-action series. He also voiced Scott Denoga in the Disney Channel animated series Hailey's On It! (2023–2024). In 2025, Jacinto starred in Disney's Freakier Friday alongside Lindsay Lohan and Jamie Lee Curtis, returning to family comedy. Leos born in August tend toward charisma and the kind of self-aware humor Jacinto wields; his life-path 7 suggests a preference for depth over surface charm. As an actor, Jacinto works across television, film, and voice—mediums that demand range, presence, and the ability to sell absurdity with a straight face.
