Wendt Talent Management Welcomes Automotive Journalist and On-Screen Talent Manuel Carrillo III
We are thrilled to announce that esteemed automotive journalist and TV host Manuel Carrillo III has joined Wendt Talent Management! Manuel’s passion for cars started from birth—literally—when a Porsche 911 S brought him home from the hospital. This lifelong love for the automotive world has propelled his career forward, contributing to publications like Robb Report, DUB Magazine, Motor1, Motor Authority, and Roadshow by CNET. Manuel’s charisma and knowledge have also shined on-screen as co-host of Seduced by Speed on MotorTrend and host of car reviews for Capital One Auto Navigator.
A Southern California native, Manuel began his media career in radio in 2007, providing him with access to exclusive events and unforgettable experiences. Throughout his journey, he’s traveled the globe, living in Australia and Bali, further broadening his horizons and storytelling depth.
Now, Manuel is taking his extensive on-screen experience and pursuing his passion for acting. With his natural presence, engaging personality, and love for performance, we are excited to support his transition into the world of film and television.
Welcome to the Wendt Talent family, Manuel—we can’t wait to see where this new chapter takes you!
