Jake Manley is a Canadian actor known for his dynamic screen presence and a growing body of work across film and television. He can currently be seen starring in Season 2 of Netflix’s hit series My Life with the Walter Boys, where he appears alongside Sarah Rafferty and Marc Blucas. The series has further cemented his reputation as a versatile leading man in contemporary YA drama.
Manley recently starred opposite Helena Howard in Izabel Paskad’s feature debut Find Your Friends, which premiered at the 20th Fantastic Fest to strong festival attention. He has also taken on a variety of leading film roles, including Lionsgate’s action-thriller Pursuit opposite John Cusack and Emile Hirsch, as well as Infamous for Vertical Entertainment, starring opposite Bella Thorne, roles that showcased his ability to shift between gritty, high-stakes narratives and stylized, character-driven storytelling.
His additional film credits reflect a wide range of genres and collaborators.

He also brought comedic charm to Netflix’s holiday rom-com Holidate opposite Emma Roberts, and has continued exploring genre filmmaking with titles such as Outlaw Posse.
On television, Manley has built an equally notable résumé. He starred in Netflix’s cult hit supernatural series The Order, playing opposite Adam DiMarco in a role that blended dark fantasy, horror, and campus drama. He then appeared alongside Christoph Waltz and Nat Wolff in Amazon Prime Video’s darkly satirical thriller The Consultant, further demonstrating his range. His earlier TV work includes roles in fan-favourite series such as The CW’s iZombie and NBC’s Heroes Reborn, where he quickly established himself as an emerging talent to watch.
