He holds a BFA in acting from the Carnegie Mellon School of Drama. He played Flash Thompson in the original Spider-Man film series, and had various recurring roles in television on ER, How I Met Your Mother and One Tree Hill, before landing his breakout role as werewolf Alcide Herveaux on the HBO television series True Blood for which he has garnered both popular and critical praise. In 2011, Manganiello was voted "Favorite Pop-Culture Werewolf of All Time" by the readers of Entertainment Weekly, and one of Men's Health Magazine's "100 Fittest Men of All Time," alongside Michael Jordan, Bo Jackson, Michael Phelps, and Arnold Schwarzenegger.
He has since split his time between acting on True Blood and in feature films such as the Steven Soderbergh-directed Magic Mike, the film adaptation of What to Expect When You're Expecting, and the David Ayer directed Sabotage. In late 2013 Manganiello became a published author. His first book Evolution was released by Simon & Schuster's Gallery Books. Aside from his work life, Manganiello is active with several charities including Children's Hospital of Pittsburgh of UPMC and he serves on the committee of the Los Angeles-based The Art of Elysium.
True Blood is an American television drama series created and produced by Alan Ball. It is based on The Southern Vampire Mysteries series of novels by Charlaine Harris, detailing the co-existence of vampires and humans in Bon Temps, a fictional, small town in northwestern Louisiana. The series centers on the adventures of Sookie Stackhouse (Anna Paquin), a telepathic waitress with an otherworldly quality.
The show is broadcast on the premium cable network HBO in the United States. It is produced by HBO in association with Ball's production company, Your Face Goes Here Entertainment. It premiered on September 7, 2008. The first five seasons of the series received generally favorable reviews and won several awards, including a Golden Globe and an Emmy.
On July 15, 2013, HBO announced that True Blood had been renewed for a seventh and final season that will premiere in Summer 2014.
Alcide Herveaux is a fictional character from the The Southern Vampire Mysteries / Sookie Stackhouse Novels by author Charlaine Harris. He is a Were (a full blooded werewolf) who owns a surveying company with his father in Shreveport, Louisiana. He is depicted as a tall man with green eyes, and thick, tousled black hair.
Actor Joe Manganiello portrays Alcide in HBO's True Blood series. He is somewhat in love with Sookie but knows the relationship can never be due to Sookie killing Debbie in self defense although they do kiss in an episode. At the end of season 6 it is shown to be that Sookie and Alcide are officially together.
Confession! I skipped the season six premiere of True Blood, because my desire to watch the greatest human being in existence (Danushka from Food Network Star) took precedence over my desire to find out who got naked on that formerly-good show about vampires, werewolves, witches, fairies and who knows what else this season… Unicorns? Mermaids? Centaurs? I don’t know, but let’s start rumors that Sookie Stackhouse is going to do anal with a centaur.
All I know for sure is that Joe Manganiello‘s character, Alcide, got naked for a threesome in the woods. This means that we got to see his butt (again), and that means that hundreds of gay men were jerking off and encouraging their boyfriends to suck their dicks whilst watching True Blood last night… Because, as we all know, Joe Manganiello naked is the greatest aphrodisiac known to man. Duh.
