Sorbo: From '90s Demigod to Indie Film Pioneer
15 Oct
Summary
- Sorbo starred as Hercules in a popular '90s TV series.
- He claims the industry sidelined him after his breakout.
- Sorbo has pivoted to independent film productions.
Kevin Sorbo, who achieved demigod status as the star of the '90s hit 'Hercules: The Legendary Journeys', has seen a significant shift in his screen presence.
The action-packed series, which aired for six seasons from 1995 to 1999, followed Hercules on a quest for revenge after his family's murder. The show's success propelled Sorbo into the spotlight.
However, Sorbo claims he was "booted out" of mainstream media, leading him to pivot his career. He has since focused on independent productions, moving away from his bare-chested breakout roles.
Executive producer Rob Tapert noted that Sorbo had "done his dash," and market forces provided an opportunity to launch new ventures. The conclusion of 'Hercules' allowed Sorbo to pursue these alternative paths.
