This actor moved to Los Angeles after graduating from Carnegie Mellon and had his first semi-successful audition within three days of the move. He has appeared mostly on television, and is currently a regular in a popular HBO series.
Pro-tip: We say semi-successful because although he did not get the role of the auditioned for, he was cast as the main character’s rival and received a cameo in the film’s second sequel.
Good luck!

Joe Manganiello!

Copy & paste this:


Who?
a dude from True Blood
Alcide, from True Blood.
Or Flash Thompson, if you prefer.
He’s on True Blood and was in a few episodes of One Tree Hill
He’s a warewolf on True Blood.
Ew, too pumped.
He’s also the dude that “rocked brunch” with Marshall, and tackled Lily’s crazy ex on Lily and Marshall’s wedding day, on How I Met Your Mother. LOL
Holy s**t! it’s him? i did NOT recognized him :O
oh thank you for this! I knew he sorta looked familiar and I’ve never missed an episode of HIMYM but only watched a handful of episodes of True Blood. I definitely remember him from HIMYM now
Ellen Degeneres?
Aww yeah I knew this one! Not from the abs, but from the clues.
I’ve never watched the show and I got this one… Thank you, Cosmo magazine! And thaniks ROFLRazzi for the post… mmm!
*Thanks (ignore the i in the second thanks)
Those abs are making me delirious.
Maybe I would think he was cute if he shaved… hmmm.. (until then, putting a bag over his head…) AAAAHHHHH MUCH BETTER!
He’s unshaven for a reason. This pic is from True Blood and he’s supposed to look shaggy/wolfy. He’s 6’5″. Me likey tall buff men.
Goddammit he’s yummo!!!
He reminds me of “The Ogre” Palowakski from Revenge of the Nerds.
GRRRR…. yup, didn’t know his name, but I remembered those abs.
same…but the true question is if a man has awesome abs does the name really matter??
Bleauoghoubg…. sorry, lost my train of thought. I want to hump him mercilessly.
drooooooool although i prefer a little more chest hair. dunno why they always shave these hot guys down.
Mmmmmmmmm
Yeah, this one I knew (am usually fairly rubbish at these things) I may have possibly paused TV for this view ;P
Alcide!!! YUM!
mmmm My husband has the same body. Only shorter.
FIRST!!!
I have to say the fact that he graduated from CM makes him that much hotter to me. Smart is sexy!
But his first claim to fame was the infamous indie smash Out of Courage 2!
I wanna jump through the screen and maul him right now. I love men like that. Scruffy and big. I’m not a True Blood (show) fan (I love the books) but I almost finished a whole season because of this man.
Holy Cow, he graduated from Carnegie Mellon? Smart AND sexy as hell? Dude…
Seriously, he’s like a romance novel hero come to life.
