Interview: Actor Manganiello true to Pittsburgh roots

Pittsburgh native Joe Manganiello is no stranger to Pittsburgh sports.

A Mt. Lebanon native, Manganiello makes it back to the Burgh often to check up on his favorite teams. He also has ties to the community, spending considerable time at Children's Hospital, where he sits on the board of trustees.

I had the chance to talk to him today about his new film, Bottom of the Ninth.In the picture, Manganiello plays Sonny Stano, a can't-miss baseball prospect who winds up serving a 19-year jail sentence for a mistake made as a teenager.
