The Real World: DC
Manning's TV career started in 2009 at age 22[12] [35] on , the twenty-third season of MTV's reality television series The Real World, for which Manning auditioned on a random lark with a friend.[36] Having had recently come out as bisexual, the revelation caused conflict with some of his loved ones.[37] In his pre-show interviews, Manning described himself as a "pile of contradictions,"[38] and indicated that his time in D.C. would be a turning point for him and the question of whether his family would accept his sexuality.[20] Manning explained in the season premiere that he attended church every Sunday, through which he hoped to bond with his castmate and fellow churchgoer, Ashley Lindley.[12] His storyline also depicted his social life, in particular his newfound freedom to date,[39] [40] [41] and his concerns regarding family and religion.[42]
Manning joined the cast with the intention of working as an environmentalist, but unexpectedly became an activist for LGBT rights as well,[20] working for the Human Rights Campaign and the Energy Action Coalition.[37] [43] [44] [45] During the course of his work for the latter, Manning met with Congressman Jared Polis of Colorado[16] and Congressman James P.

During The Real World: Washington D.C. Reunion, which premiered on March 31, 2010, following the season finale, Manning indicated he was attending Bible study, and had recently acquired a job as a host on a TV show. Since the show, Mike has stated that being on The Real World: DC helped him to realize the power of television to help influence public opinion and create social change, and was ultimately a large part in his decision to help found the production company Chhibber Mann Productions.[47]
Producing career
In 2014, Manning co-founded the production company Chhibber Mann Productions with actor/producer Vinny Chhibber. The production company was involved with producing the film Folk Hero & Funny Guy, which was directed by Jeff Grace. The film stars actors Wyatt Russell, Alex Karpovsky and Melanie Lynskey, and centers around a story about two best friends, one being a struggling comedian and the other being a successful singer-songwriter.[48] [49] The Chhibber Mann Production company website says that its mission is to create content "to connect audiences with entertainment that matters," projects with an aspect of positive social change.[50]
Manning is an Executive Producer on the documentary film Kidnapped for Christ along with 'N Sync alum Lance Bass. The film sheds light on controversial behavior modification methods used on children, sent there by their parents, at an Evangelical Christian reform school "Escuela Caribe" located in the Dominican Republic.[51] Kidnapped for Christ premiered at the Slamdance Film Festival in Park City, UT at the end of January 2014. Tom DeSanto, executive producer of the X-Men and Transformers films is also involved with the project.[52] The film was sold to Showtime and released on television July 10, 2014.[53] Promotional materials for the film, including the website, contain a push for the passage of the U.S. Stop Child Abuse in Residential Programs for Teens Act of 2013. The bill would take steps to regulate against neglect and abuse in residential programs like Escuela Caribe.[54] Manning only became involved with the film because of his friendship with the main protagonist, and he is now working to produce another documentary with Kidnapped for Christ director Kate Logan entitled "An Act of Love," the story of Reverend Frank Schaefer being defrocked by the United Methodist Church.[55] [56] Pauley Perrette, best known for her role as "Abby Sciuto" on the CBS show NCIS, is also an executive producer on the film.[57] An Act of Love had its World Premiere at the Mill Valley Film Festival on October 9, 2015, and won the Audience Favorite, Silver Award in the 2015 Valley of the Docs category.[55] [58]
