Manoj Sood was born in Mombassa, Kenya and grew up
in Western Canada. Manoj entered the entertainment world in 1995 and
has been working steadily ever since. Manoj, much to his surprise,
landed a supporting role in an American MOW after his very first
audition. Up until then, his only acting experience had been from his
acting classes. A very nervous Manoj walked onto set on his first day
of shooting and when the sound-boom operator said "speed", Manoj
thought he was saying "speak" so Manoj jumped right into saying his
lines. The director then gave a very nervous Manoj his first on-set
note: "Manoj they are saying "speed" not "speak" and you have to wait
for the word "action" before you say your lines".
Since that day, Manoj has appeared in more than 75 Television and Feature Film productions. He has appeared on popular Television shows like Da Vinci's Inquest (1998), The Dead Zone (2002), Romeo! (2003) and Dead Like Me (2003), as well as numerous others. Manoj has also acted in popular films such as Meltdown (2004) and Rat Race (2001). Manoj plays the comically grumpy and lovable character, "Baber" on all six seasons of the internationally acclaimed TV series, Little Mosque on the Prairie (2007), now airing on Amazon Prime. Manoj also appears in the Amazon Prime series Insomnia (2018), filmed on location in Moscow, Russia and the highly anticipated TNT and Netflix TV series, Snowpiercer (2020).
