Mangold attended the USC Film School in the Bachelor of Fine Arts program before amassing a string of stage, television, and film credits. At the age of 35, Mangold put it all behind him and set his mind on becoming a professional Thoroughbred jockey and soon found himself racing against the best jockeys in the world at prestigious Santa Anita Park.
After nine years of racing Thoroughbreds, Seabiscuit brought Mangold back to the entertainment industry as a stunt double, actor, and creature performer. In addition to Slimer in Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire, he can be seen as the robot Cool Blue in the A24 film Y2K, directed by Kyle Mooney.
Mangold has more than 70 professional IMDb credits including Actor, Stunt Double, Editor, Director, Writer, Producer, Stunt Coordinator, and Visual Effects Supervisor.
