Manny Mertis

Manny was born in Athens, Greece and moved to New Jersey at the young age of 2. Pretty much being right "off the boat" with just his parents and his brother, Manny would often be found watching and helping his mother cook. By doing so he nurtured his Greek traditions along with family values. Over the years he continued his love for food working and opening up a few restaurants in the South Jersey area. When Manny got out of the food business, he went after a deeper passion that he always wanted to pursue, acting. With over a decade of experience in the industry, Manny has honed his craft as an actor. From commercials to feature films and to print, Manny has had the opportunity to work on a variety of projects and bring unique characters to life. Manny continues to keep his tools sharp by working on independent projects both big and small along with his education. He has recently been sharing his creativity and imagination behind the camera as a director of photography which he thoroughly enjoys.

Fun fact: Manny loves old school rap.
