Aside from his work in film and television, Manganiello is active with several charities including Children's Hospital of Pittsburgh of UPMC and the Los Angeles based "The Art of Elysium."

Early life Manganiello was born in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, and raised in Mt. Lebanon, an affluent suburb south of the city.

His father's family is [4][5][6] Italian, from Naples and Messina (Sicily), while his mother is of Austrian, and Armenian descent. He has a younger brother, Nicholas.

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 [7] 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 ofOklahoma!, 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

After a series of sports injuries including a torn MCL returning a kickoff in a varsity football game against Ringgold High School (former high school of NFL Hall of Famer Joe Montana), Manganiello auditioned for the Carnegie Mellon School of Drama as a senior in high school. He was not accepted, so enrolled at the University of Pittsburgh and worked at doing theatre. Manganiello re-applied to Carnegie Mellon a year later, and was one of 17 students [7] accepted into the acting program. He performed in theatre productions and wrote, produced and acted in the [10] [9] student filmOut of Courage 2: Out for Vengeance. Manganiello graduated in 2000 with a BFA in acting. Manganiello studied all styles of classical theatre while he was there. Manganiello traveled to New York and Los Angeles through his university to participate in group auditions, which provided him contacts in the entertainment [11] business.

Career

Film and television [11] Manganiello moved to Los Angeles after graduating from Carnegie Mellon. He quickly signed with a talent agent, and three days later, auditioned for the role of Peter Parker in the Sam Raimi-directed film,Spider-Man (2002). Manganiello landed the role of Eugene "Flash" Thompson, Peter Parker’s nemesis, playing opposite Tobey [10] Maguire, Kirsten Dunst, James Franco, and Willem Dafoe, as his first acting job out of college. He reprised the role several years later, making a brief cameo at the end ofSpider-Man 3(2007). Manganiello began finding work in television, playing Tori Spelling's boyfriend on VH1'sSo Notoriousin 2006, and guest starred onLas Vegas,Jake in ProgressandClose to Home. That year he also played John Leguizamo's AA sponsor in the CBS television pilot Edison. In 2007, he appeared in "My No Good Reason", a Zach Braff-directed episode of the NBC seriesScrubs, and in the MyNetwork TV nighttime soap operaAmerican Heiress. He also played Officer Litchman, the love interest to Linda Cardellini's character, for a four-episode arc on NBC'sER. Manganiello played Brad, the law school buddy of Jason Segel's character Marshall Eriksen, on several seasons of [12] the CBS comedyHow I Met Your Mother. In 2008, he joined the cast of The CW dramaOne Tree Hillfor its the fifth season, playing bartender Owen Morello, Sophia Bush’s love interest. Manganiello shot the series in [13] Wilmington, North Carolina, and returned for its sixth and seventh seasons. He played Stu on the Fox sitcom'Til [14] Deathfor two episodes, and starred in the short film "Wounded" that year, written by Gloria Calderon Kellett, which he first originated on the stage and won Best Short Film at the 2011 Big Island Film Festival.

Sean Macklin, a Navy SEALs squad leader. Joe trained for several months with a former Navy SEAL who he flew to the set and put up in the cast's hotel out of his own [15] pocket in order to add authenticity to the production. The Fox Home Entertainment film was shot in Puerto Rico. Manganiello appeared in a David Arquette directed episode ofMediumin 2009, and has guest starred on all three series of CBS'sCSItelevision franchise:CSI: Crime Scene Investigation,CSI: Miami, andCSI: NY.

award for Best Ensemble, as well as a Saturn Award for Best Guest Starring Role in Television and a NewNowNext [9] Award. True Bloodwas already Manganiello's favorite television show when he joined the cast. He auditioned to play Coot, [18] another werewolf in the series, but was asked to read for Alcide instead. Manganiello grew a beard and trained for five months with trainer Ron Mathews, who trained Hugh Jackman for the originalX-Menfilm and Jennifer Garner [9] for the TV seriesAlias, to add muscle for the role; author Charlaine Harris had described Alcide as having "arms [5] the size of boulders". He also got a sun tan to set himself apart from the other characters on the series and spent [19] time studying live wolves. Manganiello has since signed on to be a regular cast member. In early 2011 Manganiello was asked to screen test for the title role of Superman in Zach Snyder and Christopher Nolan's reboot,Superman: Man of Steelbut due to scheduling problems withTrue Bloodhe was forced out of the running in the final stage. Manganiello told Access Hollywood in a March 5 interview, "They wanted me to screen test and they actually asked for my measurements for the suit and everything... Their shoot date switched and it would have taken up 11 weeks out of myTrue Bloodschedule. At the end of the day, we couldn't get the schedule to work so that I could go off and screen test. So, regrettably, I never got to screen test, I never got to put the suit on." Upon completion of filming for season four ofTrue Blood, Manganiello travelled to New York City to reunite with his Carnegie Mellon School of Drama classmate Matthew Bomer to shoot an episode of USA'sWhite Collar, directed by Andrew McCarthy. He then headed to Atlanta, Georgia to shoot the film adaptation of the best selling bookWhat To Expect When You're Expecting, alongside Cameron Diaz, Jennifer Lopez, and Chris Rock. Upon completion of the film, Manganiello returned to Los Angeles to shoot an episode ofTwo and a Half Menwith Ashton Kutcher. He then re-teamed with Bomer, and co-starred with Channing Tatum, Matthew McConaughey, Alex Pettyfer, Adam Rodrdguez, and Kevin Nash in the Steven Soderbergh-directed filmMagic Mike, which documented the story of Tatum's life as a 19-year-old stripper in Tampa, Florida.

’Til Deathis an American sitcom which aired on the Fox network from September 7, 2006, to June 20, 2010. The series was created by husband-and-wife team Josh Goldsmith and Cathy Yuspa, who were also the writers and executive-producers. The show focuses on Eddie and Joy Stark (Brad Garrett and Joely Fisher), a couple married for 23 years who live in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

'Til Death

Premise ’Til Deathcenters on Eddie and Joy Stark, and their relationship and behavior after 23 years of marriage. The first two seasons often focus on the contrast between the Starks and their newlywed neighbors, Jeff and Steph Woodcock (Eddie Kaye Thomas and Kat Foster). The second season introduces a new character named Kenny Westchester (J. B. Smoove) who is Eddie's friend from the big brother program. The third season focuses largely around Eddie and Joy's relationship with Kenny after he moves in with them. The fourth season focuses on the Starks adjusting to life with their daughter Ally (Kate Micucci) and new son-in-law Doug (Timm Sharp), who live in a trailer in the Starks' backyard. The series takes place in suburban Philadelphia in Cheltenham Township.

History The first season of’Til Deathran from September 7, 2006 to April 11, 2007 and contained 22 episodes. The series initially aired Thursdays at 8/7c alongside fellow freshman sitcomHappy Hour. In November the series was given a [2][3] full season order and then later paired withThe War at Homein March 2007 the show was given the. Beginning coveted time slot directly followingAmerican Idol's results show, which led to an improvement in its ratings. In [4][5] May,’Til Deathwas renewed for a second season. The second season ran from September 2007 to May 2008 and consisted of 15 episodes, during which it aired on Wednesdays at 8:30PM following a new comedyBack to You.
