Manny Jacinto (born August 19, 1987) is a Canadian actor of Filipino descent. He was born in Manila, Philippines, and moved to Canada with his family when he was about three years old. He grew up in Richmond, British Columbia, and initially pursued a degree in civil engineering at the University of British Columbia before transitioning to acting. Jacinto started his career with small roles in television series such as Once Upon a Time, Supernatural, and iZombie. His breakout role came in 2016 when he was cast as Jason Mendoza in the NBC sitcom The Good Place, where he gained widespread recognition for his comedic performance. He has also appeared in films like Bad Times at the El Royale (2018) and Top Gun: Maverick (2022). In 2024, he portrayed Qimir in the Star Wars series The Acolyte. Additionally, he provided the voice of Scott Denoga in the Disney Channel animated series Hailey's On It! (2023–2024). In 2019, he announced his engagement to actress Dianne Doan.
"In that day, the LORD will punish with his sword, his fierce, great and powerful sword, Leviathan the gliding serpent, Leviathan the coiling serpent; he will slay the monster of the sea. I, the LORD, watch over it; I water it continually. I guard it day and night so that no one may harm it." D.A.G.O.N Industries, a cutting-edge marine biology and bioengineering corporation, was on the verge of curing the world’s deadliest diseases. By experimenting with DNA reconstruction in aquatic species known for regeneration, they believed they had found salvation in an echinoderm: the starfish. But one test subject, infected with an advanced case of Sea Star Wasting Disease, reacted violently with DAGON’s regenerative elixir. The result: a parasitic mutation that evolved beyond the lab. A detached, virus-laden limb enters a human host, replacing their tongue like the tongue louse parasite—and transforming them into something inhuman. These new apex predators are called Grabbers—zombie/starfish hybrids that sprout radial limbs and fleshy beaks from their hosts’ mouths, spreading the "Star Virus" across both marine and terrestrial environments. As civilization collapses into chaos, an underground team of amateur marine biologists discovers the company’s most guarded secret: a young woman, Subject: Dohrnii, a successful experiment infused with the immortal jellyfish’s DNA. Practically ageless, she holds the key to stopping the virus—but she’s not entirely human either.
