You know what the difference is between Kevin Sorbo and a fishing lure?
A fishing lure gets cast.
Looked up his imdb, he seems to be getting a lot of roles recently
https://m.imdb.com/name/nm0001757/
You might see who's making all those movies. Because it's not Hollywood, other than the Reagan film, which he had a small part in and which also was a box-office bomb.
He makes right-wing Christian movies because those are the only roles he gets.
When he was Hercules, he was one of the biggest stars on TV.
But hey, he has an 8-episode sitcom on Twitter which I'm sure is hilarious and also a big success, like all TV shows on Twitter. https://m.imdb.com/title/tt12825094/?ref_=nm_flmg_job_1_cred_c_2
I don't really watch Christian movies.
The last thing I saw him in was that home alone, but with a dog instead of a kid. "Alone for Christmas". I can't really recommend that, either.
Yeah, nobody does. That's why citing them as Sorbo "getting a lot of roles" is a fucking joke.
You're not making Christianity better, you're just making movies worse!
"Hollywood" in this context refers to the American film industry, not necessarily the location. Major studios, national distribution, etc.
I surely know that you don't have to live in California if you're a movie star and get cast in legitimate movies anymore.
A large number of them aren't even shot in California anymore.
First of all, production companies are literally shooting in Georgia all the time. I have a friend who works in production in Atlanta.
Secondly, if they wanted Kevin Sorbo in movies, he could live wherever he wanted. He didn't abandon Hollywood, Hollywood abandoned him. Because he's a lunatic with an ego the size of Mount Olympus.
You aren’t wrong but be aware those are largely low value christian/conservative media roles
Does it look like the sort of thing you'd want to watch, though?
A lot of that list had me wondering if IMDB sometimes showed ratings out of 5
