"As he healed, the healing brought him more faith." –Sam Jenkins

(Hollywood, CA)—[CBN News] Kevin Sorbo is an American born actor best known for his lead role in "Hercules: The Legendary Journeys." He played the muscle bound demi-god in the hit TV series that ran for 6 seasons. It became one of the highest rated syndicated television programs in the world. Sorbo also played the lead in the fantasy film "Kull the Conqueror" and starred in Gene Roddenberry's TV series, "Andromeda." Most recently, he appeared in the movies "Soul Surfer" [and "God's Not Dead"]. (Screengrab via CBN News)

"I'm an actor. I'm not saving people's lives. I just hope I give them some escape from reality for a while and give them a good laugh and a good cry."

I recently interviewed Kevin at his home in Southern California and tested his strength in a friendly arm wrestling match. Guess who won?
Kevin Sorbo was raised in Minnesota by parents who taught him Christian values. When he was 13 years old he went to a Billy Graham crusade and responded to the altar call.

Kevin remembers, "It was a very happy emotional night for me. And I just always remembered it."

Reporter Michelle Wilson—"So do you think that that was the moment, that was the day that you said, 'Okay, I'm going to live for You, Jesus?'"

["I guess in a way, I felt like that was the day," he answered, "because it was such a marked time in my life."]

After its sixth season, the Hercules series ended. Although Kevin still had a 10% loss of vision in both eyes he continued acting in movies and hit television series'.

"I've done 40 movies since then as well. So I'm shooting one now and I've got another one after this, so knock on wood, thank God I'm still working," says Kevin. (Screengrab via CBN News)

Kevin and Sam married and by the way—they had two boys and a girl in that order just as they said they would.

"He is the best man that I know. And this has only made him better. He's a good guy. He's a great dad. He's a great husband. And he's a great man," says Jenkins.

Kevin says, "Faith is not tangible, you can't touch it. It's something that's a belief, something that's inside of you. And I needed hope and faith to keep pushing myself past every single day of what I was going through and what I felt. My true strength comes from God and certainly from my family right after that. They're the most important things in my life."
