Manuel Sinor is an actor represented in Montreal and Paris. He works equally in English and French and, occasionally, in German. A lead actor apt in theatre and dedicated to film, he has developed an acting style that combines raw instincts with sharp linguistic insights. His acting range, in drama and comedy, stretches from authority to uncertainty, from seduction to vulnerability.

Born in the Congo and raised in France, Sinor forged himself the profile of a cosmopolitan actor along a unique itinerary: blues band (France), management studies and jobs (France, US, Ireland), hitchhiking (Germany, Morocco, Thailand), Navy service (Persian Gulf, Indian Ocean), achievement of a PhD in linguistics (Canada). Moulded and strengthened by these experiences, he has been building up the bases of a worldly film career, as follows.

2004-2007. From guerilla filmmaking to theatre workshops (West Canada), Sinor blends his past travels and studies into the personal acting style described below, which gets him cast alongside students of the University of Alberta's BFA in Acting, the second-ranked drama conservatory program in Canada, and earns him elsewhere his first stripes as a lead actor.

2008-2009. Sinor begins to expand his acting career. He visits Los Angeles and is invited back by ®Emmy Award winner Michael Jorgensen, to play the German-speaking lead role of the National Geographic USA Special HITLER’S STEALTH FIGHTER. The same month, he rehearses 16 roles in LENTEMENT LA BEAUTE, which goes on to earn 3 nominations at Vancouver’s Jessie Richardson Awards. Armed with a stronger resume and acting tips from ®Gemini winner Megan Follows, he moves to Montreal in May 2009.

2010-2012. Sinor strengthens bases in North America and Europe. Repeated casting scores through KINO, a Montreal-born, worldwide film movement, lead him to sign with a bilingual Montreal agent (hence more and more audition calls for Hollywood supporting roles) and with a top agency in Paris. Canadian actor unions Equity and Actra (sister of the Screen Actors Guild) grant him full membership, and THE INCIDENT, a short film starring Sinor, gets selected by festivals in Canada, Russia and China. 2012 has in store: the pre-production, for the Montreal Fringe Festival, of a Paris-originated play; prospects of further lead roles on stage and screen, in English and French, and of obtaining the dual France-Canada citizenship, another boost to the actor's efforts both sides of the Atlantic.
