Early life
Mando was born in Québec City. He was raised by his father and is the second of three brothers. The family moved often, living in more than ten cities on four continents and in more than 35 countries, all before he was in his mid-20s. His native language is French, and he speaks both English and Spanish fluently. He aspired to be a writer or an actor as a child.
He suffered with a knee injury in his mid-20s and consequently changed directions. He worked at the University of Montreal, including international relations, before focusing on the performing arts at the Dome Theatre Program (Dawson College) in 2004. Despite no preparation, he went on to serve as the male lead in all five productions of the program. He graduated in 2007. Orlando in Shakespeare's As You Like It, Professor Katz in David Edgar's Pentecost, and Valentine Xavier in Tennessee Williams' Orpheus Descending were among his Dome credits. Mando was "one of the best talents to come from the program in the last 25 years," the program's chairwoman Steven W. Lecky said.
Career
After playing the leading character in two award-winning professional theatre productions in Montreal, Mando founded Red Barlo Productions. The company’s first film, Conditional Affection (which Mando starred in, directed and wrote) was released in 2010 and officially selected to Fantasia, Bare Bones, ACTRA Short Films, and the New Hope International Film Festivals.
Mando’s television debut simultaneously followed with a wide range of contrasting characters. His credits include guest appearances in the crime series The Bridge, the medical drama mini-series Bloodletting and Miraculous Cures, as an MS-13 gang member in The Border, and as a close friend of the character Kenzi (played by Ksenia Solo) in the sci-fi series Lost Girl.
Mando has had repeated collaborations with directors John Fawcett and Érik Canuel as well as producer David Barlow. He had a starring role in the 2010 feature film Territories. In 2011, he had a recurring role in Les Bleus de Ramville and a guest appearance on the series King. He is the voice and likeness of Vaas Montenegro, a major character of the 2012 video game Far Cry 3. He also starred in a webseries called The Far Cry Experience as Vaas, who captures and tortures Christopher Mintz-Plasse as himself. In the 2020s, Mando would reprise his role as Vaas for Far Cry VR: Dive Into Insanity and Far Cry 6.
In 2012, Mando was cast in the first season of the science fiction television series Orphan Black, which began airing in 2013. He played Vic, an abusive drug-dealer and was nominated for a Canadian Screen Award for his work on the series. He reprised his role of Vic in the second season in a recurring role. In 2014, Mando joined the cast of Better Call Saul, the Breaking Bad spin-off, portraying Nacho Varga, a career criminal.
