Actor Kevin Sorbo believes he was one of the first victims of cancel culture, getting kicked out of Hollywood over a decade ago due to his conservative values. Sorbo rose to fame playing Hercules in the hit show “Hercules: The Legendary Journeys” from 1995 to 1999.
In a recent interview, Sorbo discussed the changing political climate in Hollywood. He mentioned that the industry is becoming more open to conservative and Christian values because they don’t want to miss out on potential profits.
Sorbo mentioned that he and his wife established their own studio, Sorbo Studios, after leaving the industry. He has been working on at least four movies a year since then.
He expressed optimism about the shifting landscape, especially with Trump back in office. Sorbo noted that Hollywood is showing interest in his work now, with studios reaching out for potential projects.
He also shared his thoughts on why Hollywood is changing, attributing it to a growing dissatisfaction among both industry professionals and audiences with the current trends in entertainment.
Sorbo’s movie “What If…” is set to be re-released for its 15th anniversary. The film, starring Sorbo, Kristy Swanson, John Ratzenberger, and Debby Ryan, tells the story of a businessman rediscovering his faith.
According to Sorbo, the movie’s message of hope and redemption is still relevant today, as it reflects values that are missing from many modern Hollywood productions.
The re-release of “What If…” will include bonus content available only in theaters, such as a cast reunion and roundtable discussion hosted by the director. Tickets can be purchased on Fathom Entertainment’s website.
