Mann may refer to:

Sean Mann (April 6, 1932 – October 31, 1988) was the Allan K. Wood Distinguished Professor of Bioethics and Korean language at the University of California, Berkeley.

Dr. Mann was born on April 6, 1932 in Newton, Kansas. As a youth, he became fascinated with the idea that all living things have moral value, even the very small. His passion for defending the rights of the living, even the very small, grew out of his horror at his schoolmates' treatment of animals. In one such frequently cited incident, Mann saw a young squirrel beheaded by a set of pruning shears. The perpetrator of the act, Travis Robey, grew to be a powerful mayor of Newton, where his populist politics and penchant for hyperbole struck a chord with the citizenry of the small, farming community. Mann was appalled by Robey's success and didn't return to Newton until the mayor's death in the final days of March 1974. Upon his return, Mann refused to speak Mayor Robey's name and instead referred to him as that "merciless, bloodthirsty twit."

Timothy Shawn "Tim" Abell (born July 1, 1958) is an American film and television actor.

The youngest of three children, Tim came from the Maryland and Virginia area, where summers were spent fishing on the Chesapeake for striped bass, blue fish, blue crabs and oysters in his father's fifty-year-old 47-foot bay built boat 'Lena M'. Tim indulged his imagination by reading biographies of great military leaders, American Presidents and courageous adventurers exploring far off mysterious lands. He also took up martial arts and boxing and under the tutelage of his uncle found a respect for wildlife conservation and a love for the land while hunting deer, wild turkey and raccoon on the Marine Corps base at Quantico, Va.

At the age of 17 Tim watched an army recruitment video in the school canteen featuring the work of 'Special Forces' units; he was immediately hooked. He had signed up within a week and was off to basic training. Promoted in that basic training owing to outstanding leadership skills, Tim advanced quickly, attending AIT, Airborne School and Ranger School all at Fort Benning, Ga. He was assigned to the 2nd Ranger Battalion Ft. Lewis, Wa., as a US Army Ranger after enduring the Ranger Indoctrination Program. Gaining further promotions, Tim also achieved his Ranger Tab, Expert Infantry Badge, West German Jump Wings, J O T C Patch, Expert Rifle Badge, was an Honours Graduate at Primary NCO School and qualified at the Equestrian Riding School.
