True Blood’s Joe Manganiello will be reprising his role as Marshall’s law school chum Brad on “How I Met Your Mother.”
In the episode, Marshall seeks out Brad to offer him a job at his eco-firm, but finds that Brad has fallen on hard times, however soft he’s gotten. Lucky for all the fans that love Joe’s trim chiseled body, the show outfitted him with a prosthetic gut.
Said co-star Jason Segel of the transformation: “Just knowing that Joe has that crazy body underneath that fake gut that we put on him — it’s just hilarious to me. He has no sense of vanity despite having every right to have one.”
The episode airs, Monday, November 5 and is titled, “Splitsville!” Below is a first look photo of Joe in the episode from the Entertainment Weekly website.
