Rex Manning Biography: Who is Rex Manning?
Played by Maxwell Caulfield, he’s the fictional ’80s teenage heartthrob turned embarrassing has-been who comes in to Empire Records to sign autographs to promote his new single, “Say No More (Mon Amour).” The song is a surprisingly catchy bop despite the cringeworthy, innuendo-laden lyrics which begin with “Oh Rexy, You’re so sexy!”
A veteran of the stage and perhaps most well-known for Grease 2, Caulfield sings the vocals of the song himself. There is an accompanying music video full of embarrassing dance moves, horrible fashion, and an oddly placed four-poster bed on the beach.
What is Rex Manning Day?
Rex Manning is a fictional character portrayed by actor, Maxwell Caulfield, 62, in the film Empire Records.
Manning, an 80s pop icon trying to promote his latest album and single, Say No More (Mon Amour), visits a record store to sign autographs for fans.
The singer is highly self-centered, yet incredibly insecure as well, due to his fame level declining.
Back in a 2021 interview, Caulfield told The Hollywood Reporter that:
“It’s titled Rex Manning Day, but it might as well be called Empire Records Day.
“It initially eluded me because the film had been such a box office disappointment, so I didn’t give it the credence that it has developed over the years. It just won’t go away. It’s one of those showbiz oddities.”
