Kevin Sorbo Biography


Kevin Sorbo stars as Captain Dylan Hunt as the last starship captain of the System's Commonwealth High Guard.

On the big screen, Sorbo recently played the lead in the independent feature Clipping Adam for first-time director Michael Picchiottino. In the film, Sorbo plays Father Dan, a freethinking priest who helps a young boy cope with the death of his mother and sister.

Sorbo quickly rose to international stardom in the title role of the hit series, Hercules: The Legendary Journeys. Beginning as five two-hour telefilms in 1993, the popularity of the made-for television movies resulted in the January 1995 launch of the weekly one-hour series, which became a breakout hit. Quickly becoming the number one first-run program in syndication, the innovative action hour revitalized the entire action/adventure genre on television and prompted two spin-off series. Sorbo also directed two episodes of the show, and co-wrote one installment. In 1997, Sorbo made his feature film debut in Universal Studio?s Kull the Conqueror, a prequel to Conan the Barbarian.

Sorbo has also appeared on several hit television shows such as According To Jim, Dharma & Greg, Just Shoot Me, Cybill, The Commish, and Murder, She Wrote.

In addition to acting, Sorbo is the spokesperson for ?A World Fit for Kids? non-profit organization that provides gang, drug and dropout prevention programming to kids at risk. The organization provides mentoring training for teens and using them as positive role models for children. Sorbo is also involved with The Food Allergy and Anaphylaxis Network (FAAN), which promotes awareness and understating of people affected by this disease.

Currently, Sorbo and his wife Sam are designing pieces for Boyd Furniture titled ?The Sorbo Collection.? The first two collections, ?Camargue? and ?The Hamptons? are solid wood pieces with warm earthy tones and old-world designs, for the living room, dining room and bedroom. The Sorbos enjoy the opportunity to be creative together.

A native of Mound, Minnesota, Sorbo enjoys golfing and snow skiing in his spare time. When not filming his series in Vancouver, British Columbia, Sorbo and his wife reside in Nevada with their son Braeden.
