Actor, filmmaker and budget Ben Stiller repped by Echo Lake Entertainment
After many years of child labour as the family videographer, Mansoor decided to make a career out of it and actually get paid. Now he refers his family to his website for rates. And they refer him... to Allah.
He was co-producer of feature film "500 Miles", which won Best Narrative Feature at Cincinnati Film Festival and was distributed via Eagle Entertainment & Devolver. He has written, produced, directed and starred in numerous short films including, "Don’t Panic I’m Islamic", and most recently, "He’s ISIS", which has travelled to ten international festivals so far and won him 'People's Choice' at the Gold Coast Film Festival & ‘Best Performance’ at Reel Comedy Film Fest in Chciago. He's also in development for his digital series titled, "Son Nation", about a Middle Eastern Muslim boy who discovers his mother is Australia's most famous, red-headed, right wing politician and has just started writing his co-created series "Golden Boy" for Audible.
As an actor, he made his debut to the stage in the 7th Grade as the Grinch who stole Christmas. No one had ever seen a Muslim Grinch before... but I guess it made sense.
Since then he's played a bad cop in 'Cleverman' and in international indie feature 'Project Eden', a Doctor in 'Rake' and a Journalist in 'Winter'. He also played Terrorist #1 in 'Embedded'. That's right, terrorist roles lead to larger terrorist roles which lead to great lead roles. He also played Dan Driver, owner of an intergalactic detective agency in ABC's off-beat sci-fi comedy 'Trip For Biscuits'. He's also been nominated for two Sydney Theatre Awards but he's probably most recognised for that commercial where he serenaded a horse or that other one where he danced with a ram.

Once you start thinking about financial security, you’re beginning to run the risk of eroding your true self as an artist. Once you start thinking about money, about security, I’m not sure you’re going to be able to take the risks you need to take. You want to stay clear of that; let that part, hopefully, take care of itself. – Robert Redford
