When Hamilton first performed on Broadway to now, the play made $649,868,682 in just 1,916 performances and that was all thanks to the man behind it all, Lin-Manuel Miranda and his brilliances. Lin-Manuel Miranda was raised in Brooklyn  and was born in New York 1980. At the age of seven Lin-Manuel Miranda saw his first Broadway play ‘’Les Misérables’’ the play gave Lin-Manuel an ever-lasting impression on being an actor and director. 

Lin-Manuel Miranda is mostly well known for all the plays and movies that he acted in and directed such as, ‘In The Heights’’, ‘’Hamilton’’, “Vivo’’, and “Moana’’.  However, the movies, shows and plays were only a fraction of what created him to become well known in public. It was the message that he put in during the movies and the things he does outside the cameras and the spotlight that made people view him as a role model. 

Lin-Manuel Miranda may be an amazing actor, but he is still a human. He gets nervous when acting in a play, but he always finds a way to beat them. Lin-Manuel Miranda always tells himself, ‘’Think about how you feel about yourself, don’t think about how they feel right now’’.  It is simple but it is an effective way to overcome your nervousness.  This means a lot because there are so many times that people think about what others may think about them, when you should just think about yourself and how you’re going to do.  

To continue, the little messages that he puts into his movies are heartwarming and meaningful. These little messages always make people feel like a better person or make people think about what they can do better. For example, in the movie “Moana’’ in one scene Moana meets her grandmother, she tells her to never to lose her faith as a leader, and to always be confident in yourself. After  watching the scene I think that meant a lot to me because my confidence level always drops every time when I am  in a pretty bad situation and I  to keep having faith in myself on the things that I’m doing. 

In addition, Manuel Miranda grew up in a poor and Hispanic neighborhood. Both of his parents were from Puerto Rico, so his heritage had a huge impact on his way to success. In 2017 Lin-Manuel Miranda made an announcement about him making a series of donations to help immigrants in America start a new life. Lin-Manuel Miranda said that he wants the immigrants to start off in a normal life instead of struggling to find jobs like how his parents struggled for him.  

To conclude, Lin-Manuel Miranda is an inspiring figure, he always wants the people around him and himself to be their best. The little things he does in his movies cause people to stop and think about what they can do to become a better person. Also the love and appreciation that he shows towards the Hispanic culture proves that he cares about the Latino immigrants in America and wants to help them create a better. All of his amazing work inside and outside of the performing world impacted many people around the world.
