Joe Manganiello Reveals He Almost Got Cast on 'Survivor' as 'Joe the Construction Worker' (Exclusive)

Manganiello tells ET he sent an audition tape to a 'Survivor' casting director and sold himself as Joe from Pittsburgh.

Somewhere deep in the heart of Hollywood there's an old DVD -- perhaps covered in a thick layer of dust -- that exists, showing Joe Manganiello auditioning to be on Survivor. This thrilling new competition will take 13 daring contestants to a remote private island, where they will embark on a season-long adventure to win substantial cash prizes. As the contestants strive to outsmart the elusive banker, Manganiello will step into the role of the charismatic host, guiding the gameplay, communicating the Banker's offers, and assisting the players in making nail-biting decisions.
