Lately I have been getting into Kevin Sorbo. He is best known for his role as Hercules.

I've never seen it - looks like a cross between a scruffy Ranger and an Elf, no wonder you like him. :D

He reminds me of that blond, muscle bound chap Image, I can't think what he was, actor maybe, but he's on one of the I Can't Believe it's Not Butter adverts.
There was also a Strange Elf clad in green and brown, Legolas,..... (FOTR, The council of Elrond)

Fabio? Dear God! Say it ain't so! Hercules filmed in New Zealand, which was the first time I EVER hear of NZ. He was also the lead on Gene Roddenberry's Andromeda. He does a lot of genre work.

:yes: :swoon: The humor was delightful dry and Kevin delivered it well. Hercules was also my first chance to "see" NZ (beyond geography classes), and I was awed by the beauty of the place.

I never found him Yummy (to the great relief of my wife), but he had good comic timing in his part on Dharma and Greg, where he played a newly divorced man who discovered feelings for Dharma. Very funny.

Hercules brings back memories, I watched it religiously. I'm even thinking of getting it on DVD.

I actually saw his guest bit on Psych as a bounty hunter while I was watching my Season 2 DVD's- somehow I missed it the first time around. I've enjoyed seeing him in most of his roles.

I haven't seen Hercules in years. Good show! A local rerun channel used to show it, Xena and Cleopatra 2525 in a row late night on Saturdays.

Well I would not have called him a bounty hunter since he was not looking for trouble it just seem to always find him.
