KEVIN SORBO

Born and bred in Minnesota—he attended high school in Mound and Minnesota State University Moorhead—actor Kevin Sorbo has appeared on the hit television shows The O.C., Psych, and Two and a Half Men, among other shows and films. But he is best known for the title role in Hercules: The Legendary Journeys, which ran from 1995 to 1999. Amidst the height of Hercules’s popularity, Sorbo developed an aneurysm that led to three strokes. Because he was playing the world’s strongest man, Sorbo’s frailty was covered up, but as he struggled to recover physically he also suffered from depression. Now his new memoir, True Strength: My Journey from Hercules to Mere Mortal—and How Nearly Dying Saved My Life, tells a story of transformation, persistence, and hope in the face of seemingly insurmountable obstacles. Sorbo reflects on his childhood in Minnesota and his acting days in Hollywood, and recounts the onset of his symptoms, his frightening hospitalization, and his arduous path to recovery. With this honest account of personal tragedy and triumph, Sorbo aims to blaze a trail for those who have ever suffered a serious setback in life and are now struggling to find their way back. Still an actor as well as an author, Sorbo is a spokesman for Dixon Golf, an eco-friendly golf company, and the chair of A World Fit for Kids, a non-profit organization that trains teenagers to become mentors to younger children.
