The show is having an incredible response so far from daytime fans and we have a ton more drama to come.<\/p>\n<p>I also just wrapped a film called \u201cEyes in the Trees\u201d with Oscar-winner Sir Anthony Hopkins, Jonathan Rhys Meyers and Ashley Greene. I co-wrote the film and it\u2019s loosely inspired by the classic book \u201cThe Island of Dr. Moreau\u201d by H.G. Wells. We had a blast shooting in the jungles of Thailand, and I\u2019m stoked for the works to see the final film.<\/p>\n<div class=\"bfc61-post-content-desktop\" id=\"bfc61-3102747640\">\n<div data-bfc61-trackid=\"57988\" data-bfc61-trackbid=\"1\" class=\"bfc61-target\" id=\"bfc61-2347083619\"><a data-no-instant=\"1\" href=\"http:\/\/bcbbrooklyn25.com\/Chilled\" rel=\"noopener\" class=\"a2t-link\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"BCB25_CHILLED_1\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazyload\" src=\"https:\/\/chilledmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/BCB25_CHILLED_1.jpg\" data-orig-src=\"https:\/\/chilledmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/BCB25_CHILLED_1.jpg\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns%3D%27http%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F2000%2Fsvg%27%20width%3D%271280%27%20height%3D%27150%27%20viewBox%3D%270%200%201280%20150%27%3E%3Crect%20width%3D%271280%27%20height%3D%27150%27%20fill-opacity%3D%220%22%2F%3E%3C%2Fsvg%3E\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/chilledmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/BCB25_CHILLED_1-200x23.jpg 200w, https:\/\/chilledmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/BCB25_CHILLED_1-300x35.jpg 300w, https:\/\/chilledmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/BCB25_CHILLED_1-400x47.jpg 400w, https:\/\/chilledmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/BCB25_CHILLED_1-600x70.jpg 600w, https:\/\/chilledmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/BCB25_CHILLED_1-768x90.jpg 768w, https:\/\/chilledmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/BCB25_CHILLED_1-800x94.jpg 800w, https:\/\/chilledmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/BCB25_CHILLED_1-1024x120.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/chilledmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/BCB25_CHILLED_1-1200x141.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/chilledmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/BCB25_CHILLED_1.jpg 1280w\" data-sizes=\"auto\" data-orig-sizes=\"(max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px\" width=\"1280\" height=\"150\"\/><\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<h3>With your busy schedule, what do you like to do with your downtime?<\/h3>\n<p>I\u2019m a Colorado boy at heart, so I love spending time outdoors \u2013 hiking, snowboarding, skiing, kayaking, boating, fishing, you name it.

I like trying new things. I prefer seafood, sushi, or anything that\u2019s a creative fusion of a traditional style with a modern twist. Places with unique cocktails and bartenders who take pride in their creations are a big bonus.<\/p>\n<h3><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazyload aligncenter size-full wp-image-59132\" src=\"https:\/\/chilledmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/chillin-with-mike-manning-2.jpg\" data-orig-src=\"https:\/\/chilledmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/chillin-with-mike-manning-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1000\" height=\"1401\" srcset=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns%3D%27http%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F2000%2Fsvg%27%20width%3D%271000%27%20height%3D%271401%27%20viewBox%3D%270%200%201000%201401%27%3E%3Crect%20width%3D%271000%27%20height%3D%271401%27%20fill-opacity%3D%220%22%2F%3E%3C%2Fsvg%3E\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/chilledmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/chillin-with-mike-manning-2-200x280.jpg 200w, https:\/\/chilledmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/chillin-with-mike-manning-2-214x300.jpg 214w, https:\/\/chilledmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/chillin-with-mike-manning-2-400x560.jpg 400w, https:\/\/chilledmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/chillin-with-mike-manning-2-600x841.jpg 600w, https:\/\/chilledmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/chillin-with-mike-manning-2-731x1024.jpg 731w, https:\/\/chilledmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/chillin-with-mike-manning-2-768x1076.jpg 768w, https:\/\/chilledmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/chillin-with-mike-manning-2-800x1121.jpg 800w, https:\/\/chilledmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/chillin-with-mike-manning-2.jpg 1000w\" data-sizes=\"auto\" data-orig-sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\"\/><\/h3>\n<h3>What types of dishes do you typically order?<\/h3>\n<p>I try to eat healthy, so I\u2019ll usually go for the chicken or fish, with veggies and a healthy starch like sweet potatoes instead of bread. Sometimes it\u2019s not as fun, but with the roles I\u2019m playing these days, people expect me to be in shape. I can either try to eat on the healthier side or grind it out in the gym even harder. I don\u2019t really eat pork and try to limit the beef. I\u2019ll eat locally sourced beef or cows I know were treated humanely, but I\u2019m not one to go for a fast-food hamburger. The older I get, the more respect I have for the \u201cart form\u201d that is a well-prepared dish. I know a few chefs and it\u2019s admirable how much pride they put into their work.<\/p>\n<div class=\"bfc61-post-content-desktop\" id=\"bfc61-3149682562\">\n<div data-bfc61-trackid=\"58536\" data-bfc61-trackbid=\"1\" class=\"bfc61-target\" id=\"bfc61-1907971585\"><a data-no-instant=\"1\" href=\"https:\/\/localokalife.com\" rel=\"noopener\" class=\"a2t-link\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"Loca Loka 1\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazyload\" src=\"https:\/\/chilledmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Loca-Loka-1-scaled.jpg\" data-orig-src=\"https:\/\/chilledmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Loca-Loka-1-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns%3D%27http%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F2000%2Fsvg%27%20width%3D%272560%27%20height%3D%27300%27%20viewBox%3D%270%200%202560%20300%27%3E%3Crect%20width%3D%272560%27%20height%3D%27300%27%20fill-opacity%3D%220%22%2F%3E%3C%2Fsvg%3E\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/chilledmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Loca-Loka-1-200x23.jpg 200w, https:\/\/chilledmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Loca-Loka-1-300x35.jpg 300w, https:\/\/chilledmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Loca-Loka-1-400x47.jpg 400w, https:\/\/chilledmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Loca-Loka-1-600x70.jpg 600w, https:\/\/chilledmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Loca-Loka-1-768x90.jpg 768w, https:\/\/chilledmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Loca-Loka-1-800x94.jpg 800w, https:\/\/chilledmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Loca-Loka-1-1024x120.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/chilledmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Loca-Loka-1-1200x141.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/chilledmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Loca-Loka-1-1536x180.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/chilledmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Loca-Loka-1-scaled.jpg 2560w\" data-sizes=\"auto\" data-orig-sizes=\"(max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px\" width=\"2560\" height=\"300\"\/><\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<h3>Any favorite bars?<\/h3>\n<p>In Los Angeles, I go back and forth from preferring dive bars and trendy nightlife bars. Right now, my favorites are The Roger Room in West Hollywood, Melrose Umbrella Company on Melrose Ave, E.P. &amp; L.P. if you want a rooftop vibe, Skybar at Mondrian for private events, Spire 73 if you want a date night that basically sits in the clouds.<\/p>\n<p>I moved to Atlanta recently for the CBS show and went to a speakeasy yesterday that I liked. It\u2019s called Eleanor\u2019s and it\u2019s back through an ice cooler door in a restaurant called Muss &amp; Turners.<\/p>\n<p>In New York I like Casa Cipriani for the view and the bellinis. I would list more, but New York has so many good bars and speakeasys it\u2019s hard to choose.<\/p>\n<p>Internationally I like the Fado bars in Lisbon. As I understand it, Fado is a type of music people would sing to sailors as they set off in their ships. Today, there are rows of bars that keep the tradition alive. It\u2019s magical. We went to Clube de Fado, but there are dozens of good ones to choose from. And then of course, if anyone reading is a Scotch drinker, you need to go to Edinburgh, Scottland and bounce around the whiskey bars.<\/p>\n<h3>What drinks do you order when out? Favorite drink?<\/h3>\n<p>It all depends on the occasion. I\u2019m a big fan of pairing the drinks with whatever the night calls for. If it\u2019s a dinner with friends, I\u2019ll experiment with specialty craft cocktails or different wines. I typically stick to red wine. I\u2019m not really a white wine drinker. And then if it\u2019s a \u201cnight out,\u201d I\u2019ll start my night with an espresso martini and move towards vodka, tequila or gin and soda. I rotate. I also love negronis and a good old fashioned.<\/p>\n<p>My favorite evening-starter drink at the moment is a beverage called BOMANI. Sometimes when I go places, the espresso martinis are inconsistent, so I\u2019ll check if they have Bomani. Their Vanilla Espresso Martini is my favorite. It comes in a can and more bars are carrying them now.<\/p>\n<h3><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazyload aligncenter size-full wp-image-59134\" src=\"https:\/\/chilledmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/chillin-with-mike-manning-1.jpg\" data-orig-src=\"https:\/\/chilledmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/chillin-with-mike-manning-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1000\" height=\"1242\" srcset=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns%3D%27http%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F2000%2Fsvg%27%20width%3D%271000%27%20height%3D%271242%27%20viewBox%3D%270%200%201000%201242%27%3E%3Crect%20width%3D%271000%27%20height%3D%271242%27%20fill-opacity%3D%220%22%2F%3E%3C%2Fsvg%3E\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/chilledmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/chillin-with-mike-manning-1-200x248.jpg 200w, https:\/\/chilledmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/chillin-with-mike-manning-1-242x300.jpg 242w, https:\/\/chilledmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/chillin-with-mike-manning-1-400x497.jpg 400w, https:\/\/chilledmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/chillin-with-mike-manning-1-600x745.jpg 600w, https:\/\/chilledmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/chillin-with-mike-manning-1-768x954.jpg 768w, https:\/\/chilledmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/chillin-with-mike-manning-1-800x994.jpg 800w, https:\/\/chilledmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/chillin-with-mike-manning-1-824x1024.jpg 824w, https:\/\/chilledmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/chillin-with-mike-manning-1.jpg 1000w\" data-sizes=\"auto\" data-orig-sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\"\/><\/h3>\n<h3>Do you prepare drinks at home?<\/h3>\n<p>Yes.
