 Kevin David Sorbo was born in Mound, Minnesota, in 1958. He was in a number of plays in high school, and after leaving college, he joined an actors theater group (traveling to Europe, then to Sydney, Australia).
With Kevin's muscular physique, he was a natural for the title role in what would become his signature series Hercules: The Legendary Journeys (1995). He became internationally famous, and he learned the craft of film-making. He has produced many projects such as Abel's Field (2012), Alongside Night (2014), the Andromeda TV series (2001-2005), Fire From Below (2009), Mythica: The Iron Crown (2016), and Wolf Canyon (2009).
His film credits include such films as God is Not Dead (2014), Avenging Angel (2007), Jesse James: Lawman
(2015), Prairie Fever (2008), and Shadow on the Mesa (2013). It is for these last four
films that the Reel Cowboys were proud to give Kevin Sorbo the Silver Spur Award
in 2017.
Kevin is currently working on a new faith-based film entitled Let There Be Light. The plot will center on a world-renowned atheist whose beliefs are dramatically
challenged.
His wife, Sam Sorbo co-wrote this film with Kevin and also stars in it. Sean Hannity (Fox News Anchor) is the executive producer on this full-length
feature film.
It was a true pleasure for the Reel Cowboys to have such a prolific, multi-talented, and wonderful friend join us at the 2017 Silver Spur Award Show. |
