  • “This is an industry that screams more than anybody else for tolerance...but now all that stuff is completely a one-way street.”
    Kevin Sorbo, best known for his role in ‘Hercules: The Legendary Journeys’, boldly shared his conservative values during his prolific acting career. Hollywood’s response was to ostracize him. This is his story.

    I was an extra in one of his movies. We were told as extras, not to bother him. He showed up on set and immediately started talking to individuals including, at one point me. He was kind and very down to earth. Kevin is a genuinely kind and intelligent person.

      Don't worry he has already been "rejected" its why the "God's Not Dead" movies have done so poorly.
      The first one was with Sorbo himself playing the snide, cynical and cruel "Athiest Professor who is mad at God which is why he isnt REALLY an Athiest".
      The second movie was about a teacher who happened to mention The Bible in the context of a school lesson NOT like she was trying to convert students and suddenly the evil Athiests and the ACLU are trying to destroy her life in a powerful, dark conspiracy.
      Can't imagine why they didnt do so well...

      @@revparravager3184 I'll concede that those movies definitely needed to be better written to say the least, and yea the whole "I'm an atheist but I'm mad at God" thing made me laugh in front of my whole family in which they all gave me concerned looks.
      In fact after the first one I decided that I wasn't gonna get the 2nd one a chance so thank you for letting me know about it so I don't waste my time.
      That being said I am a Christian man and I do think that they had tunnel vision when making those movies and as a result we got what we got sadly.
      To get back on topic however, I never mentioned any movies that he was in, I just thought that phrase was a good one to live by...Atheist, Christian, Buddhist, Agnostic, whatever. ^^

We finished the shoot and everyone on the crew was gone except me and another assistant as we were left wrapping equipment. Mr Selleck walks over to us and ask if we'd like a beer. "Sure!", we said. I figured he'd have a maid or someone bring a beer out to us. Nope - he walks into the house and comes out with 3 bottles and sits down and BS's with us for about 30 minutes!

    It’s scary true how accurate Kevin‘s words are. I’m saying this as a film Director who is conservative and Christian. I don’t even post on my actual CZcams page to protect my identity. When you meet other conservatives it’s like a Whisper you meet them in secret. And he’s so right on the money. On big time sets that I’ve participated on they’ll rant about Trump for no reason, and they think every conservative is a Caucasian racist male Who despises gay people. By the way not only am I conservative but I’m also minority. I will also tell you this there’s a lot more conservatives in Hollywood than people think but we just keep our mouth shut so we can keep getting paid.

      Twitter seems to be the leftest cesspool of stupidity. Every time I try to get on twitter and enjoy a conversation, I'm met with idiots.

      I don't have a twitter anymore because I went from having 200 followers to 2,000 for telling the truth and having an opinion that disagreed with socialist and they kept banning me so I stopped supporting their paychecks

    Mr. Sorbo you rock sir! I grew up watching your shows with my family. Hercules being our favorite. Thank you so much for your works and hooe we see much more.
    I see nothing at all wrong with your views and very glad to see you are not a follower but a strong leader instead. Thank you again!

    Just as inspiring as the characters he played on tv. Hercules and Dylan Hunt both always tried to find common ground and not just be violent. Kevin Sorbo is a class act.

    Love you Kevin! Thanks for putting yourself out there and discussing issues. Those on the left get personal and name call because they can't win the argument. They deal in feelings not reality. I hope we can find common ground.

      Kevin Sorbo, and Lucy Lawless cannot stand each other. The two cannot be any more different on the Social/Political spectrum. Ms. Lawless is another Liberal loon.
