Manny Coto is a writer, director and producer of films and television programmes. He is currently the executive producer and showrunner of Star Trek: Enterprise.

Coto graduated from the American Film Institute and has had much experience in sci-fi and fantasy genre, he wrote and directed an episode of Tales from the Crypt and also wrote an episode for and produced The Outer Limits when it was revived on Showtime in 1995. He was given the chance to create and write a series for Showtime after The Outer Limits was cancelled, that series was called Odyssey 5 and it starred Peter Weller, the original Robocop.

Coto joined the writing crew of Enterprise in 2003, when the show was in its third season, and became a co-executive producer later that season. He now serves as an executive producer of the show, alongside creators Rick Berman and Brannon Braga. He has written a number of episodes of the series, such "Similitude," "Chosen Realm" and "Azati Prime."

According to his bio on StarTrek.com [1], he has been a fan of Star Trek all his life and once wrote a Star Trek comic book. Because of this, and his radical aproach to tie in Enterprise with the original star trek and preserve continuity, has resulted in high support for his work from the fanbase.

He has also directed a number of films including Dr. Giggles and Star Kid .
