Kevin David Sorbo

He was lucky to wake up famous and receive the status of a Hollywood star after the release of the fantasy series about the wanderings of Hercules. The ancient Greek demigod turned Kevin Sorbo into an actor that everyone was talking about - viewers, film critics, colleagues. The tape has occupied a niche in the world cinema, becoming a classic and largely determining the path of the genre's development.

The creative biography of the artist developed in an ascending order: Sorbo managed to break out of the framework of the hero of one role and play characters in various cinema genres. But Hercules became his calling card forever.

The future Hollywood celebrity was born in September 1958 in the small town of Mund, which is located in Minnesota, USA. The Sorbo family had only an indirect relationship to art - their parents loved theater and cinema. Kevin's mother, Ardis, worked as a nurse. The head of the family, Lynn Sorbo, taught mathematics and biology to children at a local school.

Kevin's parents have Scandinavian roots, so the son was brought up in the traditions of Lutheranism. As a child, the boy did not even dream of theater and cinema. Like all peers, Kevin preferred to spend his free time on sports grounds and gyms.

Over time, the sport turned the young Sorbo into an athletic young man and largely predetermined his career. When the guy celebrated his majority, his height reached 1.91 m. Having matured, Kevin Sorbo gained weight 90 kg, which, with his growth, only added masculinity.

Such a handsome man could not remain in the shadows: advertising agents drew attention to the guy. Working in advertising, Kevin Sorbo became interested in acting. With each role, the desire to appear on the big screen as a film actor grew stronger.

Окончив школу, парень поступил в университет, выбрав архитектурный факультет. На «серьезной» профессии настояли родители, считая актерство юношеским увлечением Кевина. Но и в университете Сорбо не удержался от появления на сцене: он вышел на подмостки студенческого театра. Бурные аплодисменты окончательно укрепили Кевина в том, что он на правильном пути, а архитектурное проектирование — ошибка.

В 1981 году Кевин Сорбо покинул престижный факультет, удивив и огорчив родных. Но молодой человек был непреклонен: переехав в Даллас, он присоединился к труппе местного театра.

На профессиональной сцене оказалось труднее, чем на студенческой, но начинающий актер не собирался останавливаться на полпути к цели. Вскоре Сорбо убедился, что за славой нужно ехать в сердце мирового кинематографа — Лос-Анджелес. Туда он и отправился в середине 1980-х.

For the first time, viewers saw Kevin Sorbo on the screen in 1986, but hardly remembered. After all, the young actor in the sensational melodrama "Santa Barbara" was entrusted with only an episode - he played a pizza delivery man. However, a ticket to the world of Hollywood cinema was bought. Soon Sorbo was invited to play supporting characters in other high-rated series. These projects did not glorify the American, but increased the skill.

The actor never tired of attending auditions for new projects and believed that a stellar role was ahead. This is what happened in 1994, when director Bill L. Norton invited him to play Hercules. The tape was such a success that it lasted for 5 full-length films, and Kevin Sorbo played the key character in all.

In the mid-1990s, when the fifth picture was filmed, the shooting of the series "The Amazing Wanderings of Hercules" began, which lasted 4 years. And again, fans of the fantasy action movie saw their favorite actor in the form of a Greek demigod.

At the same time, the series about Xena was being filmed, where the main character was played by Lucy Lawless. The role of her friend Hercules went to Kevin.

In 2000, Sorbo's fans received a gift from their favorite artist: he starred in the TV series Andromeda, which spanned 5 seasons. Kevin starred as the courageous cruiser captain Dylan Hunt.

У суперзвезды, в которую превратился Кевин Сорбо, появились фан-клубы по всей Америке и Европе. За личной жизнью любимца пристально следили папарацци и кинокритики. Последние с уважением констатировали, что артисту, много лет перевоплощавшемуся в полубога, удалось вырваться за рамки амплуа, сыграв Ханта.

В 2004 году Кевин Сорбо снова удивил и порадовал поклонников и кинокритиков, блестяще сыграв драматического героя в картине «Спасая Адама». О звезде заговорили как о многогранном и глубоком актере, способном перевоплощаться в любого персонажа.

The films Hostage, Acquaintance with the Spartans, and Pulboy became striking film projects released in the 2000s, in which the Hollywood actor appeared. Kevin Sorbo starred a lot and tirelessly. In a year, 8-10 tapes with his participation were released, but most of the projects received harsh criticism. The peak of popularity was left behind in the 1990s.

In 2017, the actor tried himself as a director, filming the picture Let there be light. He played the main character himself.

Fans love the artist not only for his talent, but also for his impeccable reputation and loyalty to his wife. Kevin Sorbo has an exemplary marriage and a strong family. In his youth, the actor spent all his time on the set, not spending time on his personal life. He married at 40, taking his colleague Sam Jenkins as his wife. Since 1998, the actor has lived with Sam, refuting the myths about infidelity and frivolity of Hollywood stars.

The couple raised three children - sons Braden and Shane and daughter Octavia. The girl was born in 2005, when the head of the family turned 47 years old.

The actor is active both on the set and in everyday life. He never gave up playing sports, and after becoming a star, he became interested in charity. In November 2015, Sorbo opened pages on Instagram, Twitter and Facebook, where he posts fresh photos and pleases subscribers with news from his personal and professional life, talking about children and the expansion of his filmography.

In 2012, Sorbo suffered a loss - his father died.

In 2018, the artist delighted moviegoers and fans with his appearance in the project "The Last Shark Tornado". The painting is a mix of all kinds of genres: horror, fantasy, science fiction and comedy.

Another film with Kevin Sorbo, which premiered in 2018, is the adventure film "Dolphin Bernie".

In the same year, the Hollywood celebrity shocked fans with a confession about the sexual harassment that Hercules allegedly suffered from the legendary couturier Gianni Versace in his youth. The fashion designer liked the manly handsome man of gigantic stature, and he more than once invited him to parties, where he tried to retire with Kevin.

Sorbo rejected the Italian harassment, declaring his traditional orientation and love for women.

The artist keeps the intrigue, without revealing plans about the projects in which he is filming in 2019. He is still active, energetic and in great shape. Star fever never touched Kevin Sorbo: the actor resisted flattery and praise, managing to remain a simple and easy-going person.
