Building a career across screen worlds

Joe Manganiello was born on 28 December 1976 in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. He studied drama at Carnegie Mellon University before beginning his screen career in Los Angeles.

One of his earliest feature-film roles was Flash Thompson in Sam Raimi’s Spider-Man (2002). Flash is a classmate whose confrontations with Peter Parker establish the pressures of school life before the story grows into a superhero adventure.

Manganiello later became widely known as werewolf Alcide Herveaux in the HBO series True Blood. The recurring television role introduced him to audiences following the supernatural conflicts of Bon Temps.

His film work also includes Magic Mike and its sequel Magic Mike XXL, alongside credits as a producer and director. The film links below reflect titles currently available in the FLM.RED catalogue.
