Joe Manganiello Covers 'Out' Magazine: 5 Hot 'True Blood' Actors

'True Blood' isn't known for it's modesty and neither are the half-naked actors featured on the series. This is especially true of Joe Manganiello who graces the cover of 'Out' magazine's March issue. According to People, the Italian American hottie has no issue with nudity because it helps contribute to the show's authenticity. Manganiello argues that if werewolves existed, their clothing would sometimes have to go. He revealed:

"The show is a deconstruction of supernatural creatures. It's not like other werewolf projects where you magically reappear with tiny jean shorts on."

The actor is not the only one who makes 'True Blood' one of the most aesthetically pleasing shows on TV, here are 4 other handsome actors from the hit vampire series!

As 'True Blood's' resident hunky werewolf, Alcide (Joe Manganiello) turned the heat up on the series from 'hot' to 'ultra-hot'. Strangely, his character is unlucky in love and can't seem to stay out of trouble with other wolves.
Fans of the actor are in for a treat this summer when the 5th season of 'True Blood premiers along with his film 'Magic Mike', in which he plays a stripper!

He's troubled, has a dark side, is hopelessly loving, and he can shift into animals. Sam Merlotte's unrequited pursuit of Sookie (Anna Paquin) turned him cold and distant (in an attractive way of course). Though he never seems to get a break, his rugged good looks and nice-guy demeanor have stolen quite a few hearts in the town of Bon Temps. In real life Trammell is the proud father of newborn twins.

As the not-so-bright, ladies man, Jason Stackhouse, Ryan Kwanten is constantly objectified on the HBO hit. Thankfully, the ab-tastic actor was allowed to give the character some depth last season when Jason was abducted and almost forced to become a panther. Many fans of the series may not know that Kwanten is actually Australian.

Bill Compton (Stephen Moyer) is a Civil War vampire who's dark and brooding looks have lured a bevy of human ladies to his side. Though he's rather violent and threatening, his old fashion romantic gestures have gone a long way. Though Moyer convincingly plays a Southerner, he is actually from Essex, England. Off-screen, he is married to co-star Anna Paquin (who stars as his love interest in the series).

As Eric, a 1000-year-old Viking vampire, Swedish born Alexander Skarsgard has consistently been one the top reasons to watch the series. Not only is Eric dangerous and alluring, he also has some serious depth of character. Oh yeah, and his eyes could melt glaciers. Last season he finally confessed his love for Sookie and divided viewers between Team Eric and Team Bill. The love triangle has sparked some of the hottest moments in TV history.
