Looks, Talent and Drive, The Remarkable and Talented Manuel Soro

“I’ve always wanted to be an actor.” Manuel Soro said that in an interview. Haven’t we all said that at one time or another either to ourselves or to someone who was close to us? We all want to be actors because it looks like of fun! You get to hang out with other actors and pretend to be someone else all day and then you go to sleep and get up the next day and do it all over again.

 

The only problem is that most of us don’t follow our dreams, so most of us never become actors.But that’s okay because we get to watch people like Manuel Soro, the very talented Italian thespian act and we can live vicariously through him and the characters he plays. Really, being an audience member is part of the process, an important part of the process. Without us, the audience, Manuel Soro might go back to being one of the best bartenders in England. He would still be acting, only his audience would be his customers. Well, enough of that kind of talk. Manuel is doing very well in Los Angeles and his resumé is full of plays, TV shows, films, commercials and voice over projects that have been keeping him very busy the last few years.

 

After he grew up in Italy he moved to London and then he took a year off to travel the world. Then Manuel was offered the lead role in a film directed by a New Zealand film director who ‘discovered’ Manuel and cast him in the film. Some people have all the luck "and the talent. That experience told him all he wanted to know about what his life’s career would be and it wasn’t bartending. He immersed himself in acting school " the legendary Stella Adler Academy of Acting in Los Angeles and then started getting acting jobs and now he is an established actor with a body of work.

 

Some of his films are Spanish Diamonds, Trick, Brasoul Brothers, Veiled Avenger, Repeat, Funny Man and Meeting Mr. Abaddon, among others. He is also featured in the Adult Swim television show Black Jesus. By the way, Manuel actually was voted the Best Bartender in England when he lived and worked in London.
