Hollywood has its fair share of chiseled jaws and captivating charisma. But beyond the superficial shine, some unlikely bonds emerge. Take <a href="https://netflixjunkie.com/tag/henry-cavill/">Henry Cavill</a> and Joe Manganiello, two actors who have carved their paths in the industry through acting prowess and undeniable charm. Both actors have created a name for themselves, taking up roles in the superhero world of DCEU. 
It would, however, surprise fans that the two share a similarity that transcends their undeniable good looks and screen brilliance. However, what is it?
<h2>Henry Cavill and Joe Manganiello share this similar trait</h2>
The surprising similarity that binds Henry Cavill and Joe Manganiello is their unabashed passion for geek culture. The tales of the former Superman&#8217;s love for gaming and comics have been well-documented over the years. While he conquers screens with action-packed roles, in his off-screen lives, he indulges in pixelated battlefields and meticulously paints miniatures. Likewise, Manganiello is a huge fan of the role-playing game Dungeons &amp; Dragons as he has proved many times like on Wired&#8217;s Q &amp; A session.

A self-proclaimed PC gamer, Cavill enjoys <a href="https://www.netflixjunkie.com/netflix-news-henry-cavill-big-ol-nerd-cant-stop-talking-about-warhammer-40k-characters-during-recent-promotional-event/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">talking about Warhammer 40,000</a> and The Witcher 3. He has built his custom gaming rig and even engaged in online tournaments. As for Manganiello, he has made the basement of his home a haven for Dungeons &amp; Dragons players. Their shared passion is not just a quirky hobby, but rather a core of who they are.

While Manganiello&#8217;s Dungeons &amp; Dragons escapades are no less legendary in comparison to Cavill&#8217;s miniatures, many would not know that the actor almost played Superman, which broke the Enola Holmes star into mainstream stardom.
<h2 class="heading_title">Joe Manganiello came close to playing Superman</h2>
In 2017, Joe Manganiello shared details on just how close he was to being cast in the title role of Zack Snyder&#8217;s Man of Steel. During his talk with the host of MTV&#8217;s Happy Sad Confused Podcast, revealed he came as far as costume measurements. &#8220;I met with Zack. I had an hour-and-a-half-long meeting with Zack, which is what was causing all the trouble,&#8221; he recalled.

He even met with other cast members, but it all came crashing down because of his commitment to True Blood. The actor said it took him a long time before he watched the superhero film, which of course passed to Cavill. Whatever the case may be, Manganiello has certainly built a career for himself and shown a tremendous amount of commitment to his work.
