Somewhere out there exists an old DVD, which will be probably buried under dust, but it does exist, showing Joe Manganiello auditioning to be on Survivor. Joe never got to be on the storied reality competition, but he definitely gave it a shot.
Recently, in an interview with Entertainment Tonight’s Cassie DiLaura, the actor revealed when and why he had auditioned for Survivor.
Joe explains that years ago when he was at a pool party, he met someone who was casting for Survivor when it first came out. “I was like, ‘I could win.’ And they were like, ‘Oh, really? Why don’t you make a tape?’ And it was summer. I was working construction to pay the bills.”
Suffice it to say, the True Blood star never got cast to be on the iconic show. And, in some respects, it had something to do with his skills.
“They said you can’t be an actor,” he explained. It is because there are just too many actors in L.A. trying to.
