He's
a big bad wolf in your neighborhood, not bad meaning bad, but bad
meaning good. Joseph Michael "Joe" Manganiello ( ; born December 28,
1976) is a classically trained American film and theatre actor. He holds
a BFA in acting from the Carnegie Mellon School of Drama. He played
Flash Thompson in the Spider-Man film series, and had recurring roles in
television on ER, How I Met Your Mother and One Tree Hill, among
others. He has received both critical and popular praise for his role as
werewolf Alcide Herveaux on the HBO television series True Blood.
Manganiello was born in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, and raised in Mt.
Lebanon, a suburb south of the city. His parents are Charles and Susan
Manganiello.
Manganiello
is of Sicilian, Austrian, German and Armenia descent, and has a younger
brother, Nicholas. He was a student at St. Bernard School, a Roman
Catholic elementary school in Mt. Lebanon, and then attended Mt. Lebanon
High School, where he graduated with honors in 1995 and won the
school's Great Alumni Award in 2011.

Growing
up he was the captain of his football, basketball, and volleyball teams
and went on to play at the varsity level in all three sports.
Manganiello won the role of Jud Fry in his school's senior year
production of Oklahoma!, and was involved with the school's TV studio.
On weekends, he would borrow equipment to make movies with his friends,
and became interested in acting to become a better amateur filmmaker.
Ever
since the biggest superhero crossover of all time Superman VS Batman
was announced at Comic-Con, everyone has been wondering who will be the
new Batman now that Christian Bale is officially done. Well, we hear the
list is short, but it makes up for it by having some BIG names! Ryan
Gosling is certainly pretty enough to face off with Henry Cavill, and
Joe Manganiello has the muscIes. We'd totes be happy with either one!
Especially if the fight is mostly naked mud wrestling!
