Christian Actor Just Revealed a Dark Secret About Life in Hollywood

“I don’t know why in Hollywood you have to be afraid to say you’re a Christian, but there’s a lot of bashing of Christians going on over the last decade.”

Those are the words of actor and director Kevin Sorbo, who recently gave an interview to the Gospel Herald. Sorbo, 57, is a Christian and also known for roles of Professor Radisson in “God’s Not Dead,” Hercules in “Hercules: The Legendary Journeys,” Captain Dylan Hunt in “Andromeda,” and Kull in “Kull the Conqueror.”

Sorbo is currently working on several projects, including “The Carpool Lane,” which co-stars Dean Cain, and “Let There Be Light,” a faith-based Christmas movie which will come out Christmas 2017. He discussed with Leah Marieann Klett of the Gospel Herald the current nature of faith-based films and what it’s like to be a Christian actor in Hollywood . . .

GH: In the past, you’ve been critical about the production quality and content of faith-based films. In your opinion, what’s the biggest problem with faith-based films? Is the faith-based film industry getting better?

KS: I think that most people would agree that faith-based movies back in the 70’s, 80’s, and even the 90’s were very cheesy, poorly written, and poorly acted. A lot of people were turned off by them, because they were also too preachy. We live in a world where people don’t want to be told what to believe in and what not to believe in. You have to walk a fine line to hold an audience – obviously, you’ve got the choir up there, but you don’t want to just preach to the choir, you want to preach to the “independent voters” – someone who is searching for what to believe.
