  He is nothing but a Trump Christofascist troll on Twitter. Nobody will touch him (other than Left Behind/God’s Not Dead series). The only value he has is getting entertainingly owned by Lucy Lawless.

    How have I never seen Xena destroying Hercules. Can you post a link to this greatness?

        As far as I’m concerned, being called “boy Xena” is an enormous compliment, and Sorbo is far from worthy.

        Man Kevin Sorbo is such a fucking douche. That was great, thanks for the entertainment!

  Regarding just Andromeda, I’m going to clip some text from wikipedia.

  Controversy erupted in the midst of the second season, when series developer and executive producer Robert Hewitt Wolfe announced he had been released from the show’s production […] The reason for the change was purportedly to make the show more episodic and open to casual viewing.

  And

  In discussion on his website’s forums and various interviews, Wolfe has elaborated that he was released from the production staff after he refused to shift the show’s focus more heavily onto Kevin Sorbo’s character, Dylan Hunt, by essentially making all of the show’s episodes as Hunt-centric.

  After that Sorbo become an executive producer on the show. The longer running plots set up by Wolfe were dropped in favor episodic of low brow Hercules In Space stories. Looking at the quoted text above, it’s clear that’s exactly what the network wanted. Louder, dumber, and cheaper content to fill afternoon rerun time slots.

    To be fair to Kevin Sorbo, he did tank Kevin Sorbo's career. So he's not all bad.

      I dunno. Those may not be completely airbrushed in, but there’s certainly some contouring going on.

        Yeah you’re right. Even in his prime he doesn’t had muscles on his muscles like a real demi-god.

    Dylan Hunt… Sounds like cockney rhyming slang… And it’s so appropriate.

  Read his tweets: he's a bigot, Bible-thumping, anti-trans & anti-gay, Christofacist, Trump dick-rider, MAGA retard.

    Which has been are we talking about? I got distracted looking at pics of the actresses.

      Sorry, not sure why Kbin didn't correctly attribute the proper thread. I was referring to Sorbo.

  He got political, so if your against his politics you hate him because no one separates the art from the artist anymore.

    It’s completely ok to say “I really liked the thing, but I just can’t watch it because I can only see the actor behind the character”. If I found out someone punched puppies in their spare time, I would find it really hard to enjoy the things they are in. I don’t think it has to be any different with an actor who’s political stance you are vehemently against.

      Honestly, the only reason I watched it despite knowing about Sorbo is that he’s just so damn goofy that I can’t take him seriously. It’s not like he actually can affect anything. Mostly he just makes shitty Christian movies. I don’t know, it somehow feels different from Kirk Cameron. Cameron feels like he’s preying on people. Sorbo just sounds like a doofus.
