I WANT YOU BACK - MANNY JACINTO INTERVIEW

Hail the rom-com!! Just in time for Valentine’s Day, I Want You Back comes to Prime Video.

I Want You Back is a clever new light hearted romantic comedy starring Charlie Day and Jenny Slate. They play Peter and Emma,  two thirty-something total strangers, but when they meet, one thing instantly bonds them: they were both unexpectedly dumped by their respective partners, Anne (Gina Rodriguez) and Noah (Scott Eastwood), on the same weekend. 

As the saying goes, “misery loves company,” but their commiseration turns into a mission when they see on social media that their exes have happily moved on to new romances, Anne with Logan (Manny Jacinto) and Noah with Ginny (Clark Backo). Terrified that, in their 30s, they have lost their shot at happily ever after and horrified at the prospect of having to start over, Peter and Emma hatch a desperate plot to win the loves of their lives back.

Each will do whatever it takes to put an end to their exes’ new relationships and send them running back to their arms.

Canada’s own Manny Jacinto is on fire these days. Not only does he have a substantial role as he plays Logan, an unintentionally hilarious theatre director who spends an inordinate amount of time shirtless in I Want You Back, but TV audiences will recognize him for his role in the hit series, The Good Place opposite Kristen Bell and Ted Danson.

He was also seen alongside NIcole Kidman, Melissa McCarthy and many other A listers in the recent TV mini series, Nine Perfect Strangers. and is featured in the new Netflix series “Brand New Cherry Flavor”.

As if that isn’t enough, we are going to see Manny in the much anticipated action packed movie, Top Gun:Maverick opposite none other than Tom Cruise.

Jacinto, who studied engineering and spent time as a background dancer before acting, is thrilled about all of the opportunities that have been coming his way and does not take anything for granted. He says his next step is likely producing a project , perhaps a rom-com.

I had the opportunity to speak with Manny about all of his current and past projects and how he is handling his well deserved attention.
