Ned Manning is an Australian playwright, actor and teacher, whose film credits include the lead role in Dead End Drive-In and an appearance in the teen film Looking for Alibrandi. Manning's television credits include Bodyline, The Shiralee, "Prisoner"", and Brides of Christ. His first major play was Us or Them, and its production by Griffin Theatre Company marked the company's transition to being staffed by professional actors. Other plays have included Milo, Kenny's Coming Home and Close to the Bone; in 2007 Manning played the lead in his own play Last One Standing at the Old Fitzroy theatre in Sydney. The plays have received mixed reviews, with Last One Standing in particular being criticised for its formulaic and predictable narrative.
