Kevin spent 3 years traveling around
the world, modeling for print ads and appearing in over 150 commercials,
before landing in his breakout series "Hercules." Kevin David
Sorbo was born in Mound, Minnesota, on September 24, 1958. In high school,
the "Sorbs" excelled at football, baseball and basketball; in
college he played these 3 sports, plus hockey. Kevin was also in a number
of plays. After leaving college, Kevin joined an actors theater group,
and traveled to Europe, then to Sydney, Australia appearing in commercials.
At the end of 1986 he settled in Los Angeles. Kevin began to make guest
appearances on such popular shows as "Murder, She Wrote." At
6' 3" and very muscular, Kevin was a natural for the title role in
what would become his signature series "Hercules: the Legendary Journeys."
Kevin became internationally famous, and he learned the craft of film-making
well enough to direct and co-write some of the episodes. Kevin even studied
martial arts in order to do many of his own stunts. In real life, Kevin's
heart is as big as Hercules'-- he leads "A World Fit for Kids!"
as the chair and spokesperson. Kevin devotes much of his time to "A
World Fit For Kids!" which is a successful mentoring model that trains
inner-city teens to use school, fitness, sports and positive role models
for themselves, and then become the coaches and mentors for younger children.
In 1998, Kevin married lovely actress Sam ("Sandra") Jenkins,
best known for her dual role on "Hercules" as Serena/the Golden
Hind ("Hind" is a female red deer).
