What is rex manning?

Rex Manning was a fictional 1980s pop star, portrayed by Maxwell Caulfield in the 1995 film Empire Records. Manning is depicted as a washed-up artist, desperately clinging to his fleeting fame and trying to revive his career with a promotional visit to the independent record store, Empire Records. His character is known for his cheesy 80s style, self-absorbed personality, and the somewhat ironic song he performs, "Say No More, Mon Amour." The anniversary of Rex Manning Day, April 8th, has become a cult holiday among fans of the film. While he is intended to be somewhat of a parody of the 80s%20pop%20music scene, he also serves as a catalyst for the events of the film.
