Actor Joe Manganiello has reportedly dropped out of History Channel's forthcoming military drama, Six. Production has now been put on hold for the show, which received a eight-episode order in January, as producers look to recast Manganiello's role. Produced by The Weinstein Company, the drama centers on a brotherhood of modern American soldiers who take on the most high-risk military special-ops missions in the world. In the show, Manganiello was set to play Rip Taggart, a former squad leader of SEAL Team Six, who is now operating in Africa. The role would have marked the actor's series regular role after his multiple-season stint on the HBO vampire drama True Blood.
