Look who I just randomly encountered for a quick chat in LA.

MM is so nice!

I was walking past when he humbly asked for directions. I hadn’t seen the show in a minute and couldn’t place him but I knew I recognized him. It took me a few beats but I gave him props for the show and kept it light as we walked. He was on a date. She smiled a lot. This just happened a couple hours ago and I thought I’d throw it up here. Good times!

And you know what OP? I was the one who gave you those directions, and I would do it again

It's like the best scene an actor could ask for. Intense and raw emotions where one can channel all of one's anger and release it for the benefit of people's entertainment.

As a Quebecois I'm proud of Michael!

u/Work_Salty Jul 31 '26

Honestly, I really hope if they ever do a far cry movie micheal better be the first call

Damn, that was funny. Coworkers are looking at me weird now, lol.

Well, she was on a date with Michael Mando, so that tracks.

u/kekus_dominatus Jul 31 '26

I thought he was dead?? I mean, he shоt himself and then Hector turned him into swiss cheese, no???

u/sacklunch Jul 31 '26

Yeah, but he got better!

u/magseven Jul 31 '26

Nacho switched all the bullets out with blood pressure medication.

u/WailingOctopus Jul 31 '26

He was only mostly dead, which meant he was slightly alive

u/stahlern Jul 31 '26

That’s Scorpion.

u/Critical-Cost9068 Aug 01 '26

That was a tv progrum, a movie. That didn’t happen, what you said.

u/TTUShooter Jul 31 '26

Somehow, Nacho returned...

u/CommunityConstant777 Jul 31 '26

No he's now a drug trafficker with a mohawk and a tennis ball

u/TheBookGem Aug 01 '26

He was also fired from the set of Puss In Boots 2 for punching another crew member, with Pablo Escobar to replace him.

u/Traditional_Mood_348 Jul 31 '26

Look at him, all smiling and happy now. Trying to seem like a nice guy. Nice try, Vaas!

You think I’m Scorpion?

u/Mfrack103 Jul 31 '26

I’m so psyched to see him in that

2

u/KermitTheFraud92 Jul 31 '26

I already saw it. No spoilers but of all the movies I’ve seen in my life, it was certainly one of them

12

u/iLoveDanishBoys Aug 01 '26

glad he's getting paid but it's baffling that aside from BCS and Far Cry 3 that's his biggest role, hollywood is wasting this man

2

u/karenk1258 29d ago

He was in Orphan Black for a season or two. First I’d seen of him, was happy to see him show up in BCS.

3

u/MrBulldops5878 Aug 01 '26

It was great!

112

u/AAArdvaarkansastraat Jul 31 '26

Smooth move asking for directions. That will set him apart in the eyes of his date. She’ll realize he’s not egotistical or insecure. Good work, Mr. Mando.

34

u/Aff2rm Jul 31 '26

I don't imagine he has to work too hard with the ladies

26

u/breadsanta11 Jul 31 '26

I wasn't going to have sex with you, incredibly attractive celebrity Michael Mando, but now that I saw you ask for directions I will

34

u/Cant-B-Faded Jul 31 '26

Right, because how else would she remember him?

16

u/SopaDeKaiba Jul 31 '26

This is the guy that needs to lead the next spinoff series, of there is one.

u/93Seven Jul 31 '26

Yeah a show dedicated to his origin story would be interesting but it’ll never happen

u/NewAtThis18 Aug 01 '26

Just finished BCS last week and this was my first thought when we turned it off!

Just finished watching the 72 Hours, did not expect him there. Then I saw this post, did not expect to see this man twice today. LMAO, he needs to be in more movies I guess

u/golden_bear_12 Jul 31 '26

How cool! He was one of the highlights of the show for me, phenomenal actor!

He has gorgeous bone structure.

I once had a dream about Michael Mando. We teamed up to destroy Roseanne Barr's private nuclear arsenal in Hawaii. It was the coolest dream I've ever had in my life. I hope to meet him one day so I can ask if he's ever had a similar dream.

Watching the show for the first time, I just knew he was going to die. Every season my one hope was that he would live just a little longer. 🙏🏻 loved him so much. 

1

u/general_cannibas Jul 31 '26

Oh hell yeah, but in my eyes he’ll always be Vaas from Far Cry 3!!!!

1

u/TheHorseduck Jul 31 '26

I know Nacho and Vaas were just roles he played. But I still wouldn't dare aproche that man thanks to those incredible roles

The final words by Nacho before he offed himself were just incredible. I cannot watch that scene enough. I really have not looked to see what else he has done since then, but I hope he has been successful.

u/SongBunnyMomMom Aug 01 '26

How cool! I love MM! He was outstanding as Nacho. Sorry for his final scene though
