Benj Manalo

Benj Manalo, you know, isn’t just some random name floating around in the credits—this guy’s got a weird knack for popping up in shows and movies that make you go, “Wait, I’ve seen him before!” He’s one of those faces that just sticks, especially if you’ve caught “Throwback Today” from 2017, which, if you missed it, is basically this mind-bending ride into what-ifs and second chances. Wild plot, honestly—time travel, regrets, a whole bunch of “what the hell would I do different?” moments. Benj doesn’t hog the spotlight, but when he’s on screen, you actually pay attention. He’s got this energy, a little rough around the edges, not all polished Hollywood, which kinda works. Then there’s “24/7” from 2020. That one’s a bit more high-stakes, all about a nurse going full-on badass to save her kid during a health crisis. The show’s got this raw, relentless pace—makes you wanna yell at the TV sometimes. Benj shows up, not as the main guy, but, honestly, he adds this extra layer, gives the supporting cast some real bite. And don't forget “Brothers” (2015), which is just pure drama—cops, crime, family messes, the whole deal. Again, Benj isn’t the headliner, but you get why he’s there: he’s the kind of actor who makes scenes feel like actual life, not just some script. Bottom line—Benj Manalo’s not a household name, but he sure as hell makes every project a little less forgettable.
