Joe Manganiello, Actor

Joe Manganiello spent five months muscling up for his role as the hulking, love-struck werewolf Alcide Herveaux on HBO's hit drama True Blood.  In order to play the supernatural shape-shifter, Manganiello needed to build legs like oaks and arms that other men could use for pullups. He started on a 2,500 calorie-a-day diet and two-a-day workouts that focused on total body circuit training. By the time Manganiello stepped on the set of True Blood, he had shed 10 pounds from his 6'5" frame and dropped his total body fat to just 8 percent.
