Life and career[]
Mallari was born on February 19 1988, in the Philippines, but was raised in Scarborough, Ontario, Canada. Mallari was competitive at a national level in Taekwondo, for which he has a third degree black belt.[1] He was twice a Junior Canadian National Taekwondo champion.[2] However, he gave that up when he was at the age of 13. He then took up basketball with the intention of turning professional but an injury prevented him from pursuing that profession.[1][2]
While attending the University of Toronto, Mallari decided to pursue acting.[1][2] His first notable acting role was in the Syfy television series Dark Matter, based on the comic book series of the same name.[3] He starred on the series from 2015 to 2017, for three seasons.[4]
He has since starred in several films and televisions series, including the Freeform series Shadowhunters (2018–2019), and the Netflix series Ginny & Georgia (2021–present).[5]
