E.R. Nightmare! Joe Manganiello Faces Scary Surgery Following His Career Crisis: Report Claims

As Star readers know, the 39-year-old hunk bit off more than he could chew on the work front, causing him to have to call it quits on his latest television gig.

Insiders revealed that the intense physical demands the military action drama series required caused him to suffer from major "burn out."  

But feeling overwhelmed at work work was only the beginning of his troubles — reports claimed just days later that the True Blood actor was hospitalized to have his appendix removed last week. Even worse, doctors ran into complications during the surgery.  

The actor's health scare forced him and his 41-year-old wife, Sofia Vergara to drop out from their role as honorary co-chair of The Stuart House, a sexual abuse victims support facility.  

"Basically they just couldn't make it because [he] is recovering," fashion designer John Varvatos — who invited the couple to the event — explained to Entertainment Tonight. "We thank him for all his support that he's given us and, most importantly, to get well soon because he's such a wonderful guy.”
