      He is nothing but a Trump Christofascist troll on Twitter. Nobody will touch him (other than Left Behind/God’s Not Dead series). The only value he has is getting entertainingly owned by Lucy Lawless.

      Regarding just Andromeda, I’m going to clip some text from wikipedia.

      Controversy erupted in the midst of the second season, when series developer and executive producer Robert Hewitt Wolfe announced he had been released from the show’s production […] The reason for the change was purportedly to make the show more episodic and open to casual viewing.

      And

      In discussion on his website’s forums and various interviews, Wolfe has elaborated that he was released from the production staff after he refused to shift the show’s focus more heavily onto Kevin Sorbo’s character, Dylan Hunt, by essentially making all of the show’s episodes as Hunt-centric.

      After that Sorbo become an executive producer on the show. The longer running plots set up by Wolfe were dropped and replaced by episodic low brow Hercules In Space stories. Looking at the quoted text above, it’s clear that’s exactly what the network wanted. Louder, dumber, and cheaper content to fill afternoon rerun time slots. Sorbo isn’t exactly an innocent actor caught up in show with a management dispute, since he was the one who ended up getting Wolfe’s job.

      Because he is a complete loony extreme right-wing intolerant christian fanatic POS.
      I used to like Andromeda, but now I can’t stand the sight of him as Dylan Hunt.

      Read his tweets: he’s a bigot, Bible-thumping, anti-trans & anti-gay, Christofacist, Trump dick-rider, MAGA retard.

      He got political, so if your against his politics you hate him because no one separates the art from the artist anymore. He was never really much more than a B list TV actor anyway so most people just don’t even care.

          Honestly, the only reason I watched it despite knowing about Sorbo is that he’s just so damn goofy that I can’t take him seriously. It’s not like he actually can affect anything. Mostly he just makes shitty Christian movies. I don’t know, it somehow feels different from Kirk Cameron. Cameron feels like he’s preying on people. Sorbo just sounds like a doofus. He’s like the MyPillow guy of actors.
