Nick Manning Returns to Performing

LOS ANGELES — Nick Manning has returned to active performing in the adult industry after an extended hiatus, re-signing with L.A. Direct Models for representation.

Manning in 2010 starred in the XBIZ Award-winning feature "Bat FXXX: Dark Night" for Bluebird Films as the title character of The Bat. He is a perennnial contender for Performer of the Year accolades for his high-energy performances and acting ability. And his colorful personality has made him a favorite among fans and fellow talent alike.

"I am excited to be working again,” Manning said. "Having taken the necessary time to recover from nagging sports injuries, it feels great to be working again. I am fitter, stronger than ever, and I look forward to working with some of the most beautiful girls out there.”
 
“We are delighted to have Nick back on the roster," remarked Derek Hay, owner and founder of LA Direct Models. “In this day and age when acting and dialogue in so many productions is as necessary as the sexual performance, it certainly is a good time for Nick’s resurgence. A consummate gentleman and all around ‘good guy,' LADM is honored to continue as his representatives."

Manning last year shot his first starring role in a non-adult film, playing the strip club owner Ian Benedict in the Indie film "Cherry Bomb." 

A veteran of some 2,000 sex scenes, Manning is nationally known for his trademark line — "droppin' loads!" — as well his numerous appearances on "The Howard Stern Show."
