Today we welcome actor, producer, and activist Mike Manning! From his breakout days on The Real World: D.C., where he bravely came out on national television, to his award-winning work on Days of Our Lives and The Bay, Mike has built a career that’s as diverse as it is inspiring. Alongside memorable turns on Teen Wolf, This Is Us, and Disney Channel’s Cloud 9, he has also made his mark as a producer and advocate for authentic LGBTQ+ stories on screen.

Now, Mike joins us to talk about his brand-new film Unexpected Treasures (out September 19), where he stars as an alien hiding out in the Mojave Desert. With humor, heart, and his trademark honesty, Mike opens up about his soap career, his journey through film and television, and the personal story that shaped it all — from reality TV fame to becoming a visible, outspoken voice in Hollywood.
