Actor Gabriel Mann was born in May 1972 in the city of New Haven, which is located in Connecticut, USA. At an early age, despite the young man's craving for theatrical art, those around him prophesied a great model future. Soon it happened - Gabriel quickly and easily joined the modeling business, but the dreams of cinema haunted him.
Work in the modeling field and the beginning of an acting career
Having reached considerable heights in the modeling field, the young man declared his desire to enter the theater school. Soon, the guy went to New York, where he began to take acting lessons from Sanford Meisner - the legendary actor and teacher. The scene of the world-famous school of theater Neighborhood Playhouse became for Gabriel Mann a second home. The actor realized that he no longer wanted to work in the modeling business. In the theater, Mann tried not to tie himself to a particular genre. So, the most famous productions in which Gabriel played were the Potato Creek Chair of Death - a dark comedy with its inherent shocking and ambiguous morality, and The Return of Ulysses - a sensual opera about eternal values.
Movie work
Life in the world of cinema was not long in coming. Gabriel Mann managed to become famous in directorial circles and soon began to receive commercial offers from film producers. The first works did not bring the actor much success. The role in the film "The Life of David Gale" was positively received by critics, but a simple viewer remained indifferent to her. The first role in the big movie for the actor was supposed to be Father Francis in the cult film The Exorcist: The Beginning, but when the producers had a fight with the director, Gabriel was replaced by James D'Arcy. The actor continued to act in independent films, waiting for his finest hour.
Further career
As Gabriel's acting growth began, offers from producers became more attractive. So, Mann played the role of a young man who did not want to put up with discrimination by color in the film "Parallel Sons." Immediately after the shooting, the actor took on a new role in the political film "Stonewall", in which he played the instigator of the famous riots that happened in the late sixties.
Gabriel Mann switched to the traditional movie genres only in the mid-nineties when he played in “Heart Full of Rain” and “Fire Harvest”, which were filmed by CBS, a channel known for its successful projects. The turning point in Mann's acting career was his role in the films Bourne Identity and in his sequel Bourne Supremacy. Despite the love of films in the power of an arthouse, the actor’s attention shifted to mass cinema genres.
Mann helped his name in the list of the best actors of the 21st century by his role in the TV series Revenge, which was released in 2011 and became one of the most successful according to IMDb. In the film, the role of millionaire Nolan Ross went to actor Gabriel Mann. The orientation of his character is not entirely traditional. Nolan Ross is one of the main positive characters in the picture, who helps his girlfriend restore justice.
Gabriel Mann's personal life
The actor leads a very secretive lifestyle, rarely gives interviews and does not talk about his personal life. Gabriel’s hobbies are also unknown. Following his creative life, we can conclude that Mann is one of the few actors who puts love for his work ahead of commerce. It is known that earlier he met with actress Rachel Lee Cook.
