Joe Manganiello Says He’s Not A Fan Of How ‘True Blood’ Ended
HuffPost
The actor explained why he was bummed that his werewolf character, Alcide, was killed off in the HBO drama.
Joe Manganiello isn’t too pleased with how the hit vampire series “True Blood,” ended.
Appearing on Andy Cohen’s SiriusXM show this week, the “Deal or No Deal Island” host said he feels “like there was a lot that was left unexplored” when the HBO series wrapped up in 2014.
The hit horror series was based on the popular “Southern Vampire Mysteries” novel series written by Charlaine Harris. Manganiello joined the cast of “True Blood” in 2010, in the show’s third season, and played an ultra-buff werewolf pack master, Alcide Herveaux.
“I thought there was so much left on the table for me,” Manganiello told Cohen during the episode that aired Tuesday. “The thing about it was they never planned for me to be on the show past one season. I was signed up as a guest star my first season, and when my character really broke and people really loved the character, they were kind of unprepared for that to happen.”
But Manganiello’s character was unexpectedly shot and killed early on in True Blood‘s seventh and final season, much to fans’ disappointment.
