Joe Manganiello Instagram – In case you were wondering what I did this past summer… PART II 1. I played Vince Vaughn’s best friend in a hilarious & heartfelt comedy called NONNAS. It was directed by Stephen Chbosky (The Perks of Being a Wallflower) who coincidentally grew up in the next town over from me back in Pittsburgh. It also stars a who’s who of Italian American actors: Susan Sarandon, Lorraine Bracco, Talia Shire, Brenda Vaccaro, Linda Cardellini, & Drea DeMateo. Its all about being Italian & making Italian food & it’ll hit theaters next year… 2. I got a tour of the legendary Explorers Club in NYC by world traveler/explorer & old friend Justin Fornal… 3. I finished filming for the Official 50 Year History of Dungeons & Dragons Documentary I directed & produced… 4. I commandeered a new dice bag backstage at the second Sofi Metallica show… 5. After completing a lifelong mission by turning in the pilot episode for the Dragonlance streaming show i was hired to write and show run, I flew to Indianapolis to host the Dragonlance panel at GenCon with my two favorite NYTimes bestselling fantasy authors… Margaret Weis & Tracy Hickman… 6. Bubbles & I taking the stage for a performance at Puccini’s Teatro del Giglio in Lucca Italy… 7. Laying my eyes for the first time on one of the most inspiring places I’ve ever been to… The Medieval Manhattan: San Gimignano… 8. Channeling my best Clint Eastwood outside of an ancient church in the walled Medieval town of Monterrigioni… 9. Introducing The Leaning Tower of Pisa to my favorite Slayer t-shirt… 10. Catching up with my old friend & stunt double of almost 23 years Oliver Keller in Zürich Switzerland. Note: that morning I flew in from Firenze, & that night we headed out across the border to have dinner in Germany. Three countries, one day… not bad for a wandering Ronin and his pet chihuahua…
