Erica Manni was born on April 8th in Sondrio, Italy, to Gabriella Baldari, a writer, and Gualtiero Manni, a Tech Engineer. She had a strong desire to pursue a career in acting from a young age and attended her first theater class at the age of 11, marking the beginning of her journey towards becoming a skilled actress.
As she continued to nurture her passion for acting, Erica eventually moved to Roma, where she graduated from U.T.A., a private theater academy directed by Antonio Serrano, after completing a 2-year fully-immersive program that focused on both theater and film.
At the age of 19, Erica began her career in the entertainment industry by starring in the British-Italian co-production for "A Slumber Did My Spirit Seal", a Lionsgate full-length feature that was set in Roma and London. Her outstanding performance did not go unnoticed, and she was encouraged to continue her acting studies abroad, in New York City.
Erica Manni went on to graduate from the New York Film Academy with all straight A's, and she was immediately cast as the lead in Felix Alexander Dausend's "Enslaved". This marked a significant milestone in her career, as it demonstrated her ability to excel in a competitive industry.
Subsequently, Erica moved to Los Angeles, where she resides, and has appeared as the lead in numerous projects, including the romantic comedy "Body Swap", the dramedy "New York", in which she plays the rebellious daughter of an old conservative man, "Impressions", and "Infidelity", a cross experiment between two couples to understand the hidden dynamics of love.
Erica has also had the opportunity to star alongside notable actors in various films, including "Cross 3", a sci-fi adventure where she played the role of Goldie alongside Danny Trejo, Tom Sizemore, and Vinnie Jones. Additionally, she played the lead role of Francesca in Jeta Amata's "The American King", a cross film production between Hollywood and Nollywood, which was filmed in both Los Angeles, California and Lagos, Nigeria. The film also starred Andrew Howard, Miguel Nunez, Nick Moran, and Akon.
Furthermore, Erica Manni is part of the main cast of Sangre Negra, an Amazon Tv Series starring Anthony McKay, Danny Arroyo, and Eric Roberts, where she plays Rio Grimaldi - an edgy Brazilian/Italian outlaw.
