Early life and education[edit]

Career[edit]
Early work[edit]
In the mid-1980s, Sorbo traveled around Europe and Australia working in television commercials and also modeling for print advertisements. During this period, he made his acting debut in an episode of the soap operaSanta Barbarain 1986. He continued working in advertising and by the early 1990s, he had appeared in over 150 commercials. One of the popular commercials he appeared in was forJim Beambourbon whiskey,known for Sorbo's repeatedcatchphrase,"This ain't Jim Beam".[6]
He made guest appearances in television series such as1st & Ten,Murder She Wrote,andThe Commish.In 1992, he played his first leading role in an unsuccessfultelevision pilotfor a medical drama series titledCondition: Critical,which was not picked up, but aired as a television film onABC.He was considered for and lost out toDean CainasSupermaninLois & Clark: The New Adventures of Supermanand was one of the possible contenders for the role ofFox MulderinThe X-Files,which went toDavid Duchovny.[7][8][9][10]In 1993, he made his film debut inSlaughter of the Innocents.[11]
Professional breakthrough withHercules[edit]
In 1993, Sorbo received his breakthrough leading role as theancient greekdemigodHerculesin a series of fivetelevision filmsthat aired as part ofUniversal Television'sAction Pack.[12]The first film to premiere wasHercules and the Amazon Women,which aired in April 1994, the others following later in the year. The ratings success of the films paved the way for the commission of the television seriesHercules: The Legendary Journeys,which started airing insyndicationfrom January 1995 and ran for six seasons. The series made Sorbo an international star and was one of the highest rated syndicated television shows at the time.[13][better source needed]
The success of the show spawned the popularspin-offseriesXena: Warrior PrincessstarringLucy Lawless,who was introduced in a three-episode arc in the first season ofHercules.This allowed several characters from both shows to makecrossoverappearances. In 1998, a spin-offdirect-to-video,animatedfilm titledHercules and Xena – The Animated Movie: The Battle for Mount Olympuswas released with both Sorbo and Lawless voicing the characters.[14]
Herculeswas canceled midway through the filming of Season Six, of which only eight episodes were produced. The final episode aired in November 1999.[15]Although it was not revealed at the time, health issues reduced Sorbo's abilities to perform the physically demanding role during the later seasons.[16]Sorbo made his final appearance as Hercules onXena,in the Season Five episode "God Fearing Child", which aired in February 2000.
In between his years playing Hercules, Sorbo played his first leading film role in the 1997 filmKull the Conqueror.In a mostly negative review,The New York Timeswrites, "Mr. Sorbo provides the requisite oiled torso, a hint of humor and the professionalism and good grace to act as ifKull the Conquerormattered. "[17]
Post-Herculeswork[edit]
AfterHerculesended, Sorbo played the starring role of CaptainDylan Huntin the science-fiction drama seriesAndromedafrom 2000 to 2005. In 2006, he played a recurring role on the final season ofThe O.C.
In 2007, he starred in twodirect-to-videosequels toWalking Tall,Walking Tall: The PaybackandWalking Tall: Lone Justice.In theHallmark ChannelfilmAvenging Angel,he co-starred with his real wife,Sam Jenkins.
In the 2008, he appeared in thespoof filmtitledMeet the Spartans,which was a box office success despite poor reviews.[18][19]

In the first of what would be several voice acting jobs, Sorbo performed one of the main protagonists, Prometheus, in the video gameThe Conduit.[20]He also reprised the role of Hercules in the video gameGod of War IIIand worked together with his wife on the gameCloudberry Kingdom.[21]
In 2014, Sorbo co-starred inGod's Not Dead,aChristian filmin which he portrayed an atheist college professor who requires his students to disown their religions on the first day of his class.[22] Although heavily panned by critics, it was a commercial success and the first of a sequence of Christian films that Sorbo would produce or perform.[23][24][25]
Sorbo appeared in the 2015 romantic comedySingle in South Beach,starringHaley Webb.On Twitter, in 2019, she accused Sorbo of sexual advances and of sexually harassing her on the set. However, Webb did not elaborate on any of her accusations, and he did not respond to her tweet.[26][27]
In 2017, Sorbo directed and starred in theChristian dramafilmLet There Be Light,which featured conservative punditSean Hannity,who was also an executive producer. It was described by theNew Yorkeras "a cynical, xenophobic morality tale, as bitter as it is saccharine" that closes with "a dénouement of bald Islamophobia".[28][29]The Los Angeles Times,although critical, says that it provides "an involving bonanza" for its intended Christian audience. Sorbo is described as bringing "puckish charm and credible warmth to his role".[30]
In 2023, he is set to appear in theRonald ReaganbiopicoppositeDennis Quaidwho plays the title role.[31]
Personal life[edit]
Sorbo is a Christian. Although he grew upLutheran,he attends anondenominationalchurch.[32]
On January 5, 1998, Sorbo married actressSam Sorbo(née Jenkins), whom he met the previous year when she had a small recurring role onHercules(Season 3, Episode 8 "Prince Hercules" ). They have three children, includingBraeden Sorbo.[33][34]Sorbo is the spokesman and chair of A World Fit for Kids! (AWFFK!), a non-profit organization that trains teenagers to become mentors to younger children.[35]
In 2001, Sorbo was featured on a celebrity edition of the game showWho Wants to Be a Millionaire,winning $32,000. The money was donated to his charity, A World Fit For Kids.[36]
Health[edit]
In late 1997, while on a publicity tour forKull the Conquerorand between the fourth and fifth seasons ofHercules,the newly engaged Sorbo experienced ananeurysmin his shoulder which caused threestrokes.[37][38]As a result, he was weakened for the next several years, a condition kept secret from the public while he recovered. During the last two seasons ofHercules(the fifth and sixth, which aired in 1998 and 1999), Sorbo had a reduced filming schedule to accommodate his condition, and more guest stars were featured in the show in order to reduce Sorbo's duties.[39]In his 2011 autobiographyTrue Strength,Sorbo revealed the details of his injury and how his wife Sam helped him recover.[40]
In 2013, Sorbo received the Public Leadership in Neurology Award from theAmerican Academy of Neurologyand the American Brain Foundation for his efforts raising awareness about stroke.[41]He also received the 2013 Inspiration Honors Award from theInvisible Disabilities Association.[42]
Politics[edit]

In 2014, during an interview with Jerry Newcombe on the radio showVocal Point,Sorbo defendedMel Gibsonagainst allegations that his 2004 filmThe Passion of the Christwas anti-Semitic with the words: "News bulletin: you did kill Jesus!"[43]Sorbo later stated he could have rephrased his statements, but defended his stance.[44]
Facebookremoved him from the platform during theCOVID-19 pandemicclaiming "We removed Kevin Sorbo's page for repeatedly sharing debunked claims about the coronavirus or vaccines." Sorbo responded that he posts things that doctors say and that Facebook had been shadow banning him for a year prior. He stated, "I [would have been] more than happy to take them [down], whatever offensive posts that Facebook deemed that I should not be posting, So I question their statements… that they gave me."[45][46][better source needed]
AfterDonald Trumplost the 2020 presidential election, Sorbo repeatedly made remarks defending Trump'sclaims of election fraud.[47][48]Although he initially supported the protestors as loyal defenders of Trump and enjoined them to respect the police, Sorbo subsequently backtracked and blamed the violence onantifa.[49]This led to a widely reported Twitter exchange between former co-stars Kevin Sorbo andLucy Lawless,who have exchanged conflicting views on personal and political matters throughout the past 20 years.[50][51][52][53]According toThe Mary Sue,apart from audiences of his Christian films, Sorbo's relevance today is otherwise limited to those who follow his political commentary on Twitter.[54]
In 2022, Sorbo was a featured speaker at theConservative Political Action Conference.He wore a suit lined with his own tweets.[55][56]
In 2023, Sorbo published a children's book entitledThe Test of Lionhood,which explores the theme of masculinity from a Christian perspective for young boys,[57]as part of a larger fight in defense of the virtues of masculinity, which he says are being eroded in Hollywood and in society at large.[58][59]
