AccessHollywood.com caught up with True Blood star Joe Manganiello at PaleyFest 2011. The 34-year-old actor – who is now a series regular – revealed that scheduling prevented him from screen testing for the “Superman” reboot title role, a part since filled by former “Tudors” star, British actor Henry Cavill.


“At the end of the day they wanted me to screen test and they actually asked for my measurements for the suit and everything… their shoot date switched and it would have taken up 11 weeks out of my ‘True Blood’ schedule,” Joe explained. “At the end of the day, we couldn’t get the schedule to work so that I could go off and screen test. So, regrettably, I never got to go screen test, I never got to put the suit on.”






So what do you guys think about Manganiello not even getting a chance to test for Zack Snyder's superman? Do you think Henry Cavill still would have got the part?
