Manu Intiraymi's interesting name is a combination of Manu (The Incan God of Law) and Intiraymi (The Incan God of the sun). He's not Incan. Born in Santa Cruz CA, he spent most of his childhood traveling around the United States and the world with his parents. At four years old, Manu Intiraymi saw a production of "Peter Pan" at the local community theater and immediately wanted to become an actor. When he graduated high school, he attended P.C.P.A California Conservatory, before moving to Hollywood.
