Kevin Sorbo suffered strokes during 'Hercules'

Kevin Sorbo has revealed to Neurology Now that he suffered a series of strokes while starring in 1990s series "Hercules," according to the Hollywood Reporter.
"I felt like I had been transformed overnight from a youthful, carefree jock into someone who needed to grasp the backs of chairs and counters for an arduous five-yard trip to the bathroom," Sorbo says of his health scare.
In 1997, the actor began getting mysterious symptoms – pain, aches, tingling and cold sensations in his left arm and hand. Then 38-years-old, he was checked out by a doctor, but “they didn’t believe it was anything serious,” Kevin said.

But after getting his neck cracked by his longtime chiropractor, Sorbo had blurry vision, was dizzy and heard a buzzing in his head. When he woke up the next day, the actor discovered his speech was slurred and he could hardly walk.
Hospital tests revealed an aneurysm in an artery near his shoulder. "I had blockages all down my arm that were making my fingers cold, tingly, and numb,” he said.
After undergoing a surgical procedure to remedy the aneurysm, Sorbo found out that he had suffered three distinct strokes. The cause of the strokes remains unknown.
"I went through two years of hell before I began to feel like myself again,” he shared of dealing with his medical issues. “I was depressed and frustrated and had a bad attitude."
But Sorbo received support from the “Hercules” producers, who worked around his recovery. The show ran from 1995 to 1999.
The actor, now 53, is married with three children. He chronicled his health struggles in a new book, “True Strength: My Journey from Hercules to Mere Mortal and How Nearly Dying Saved My Life.”

POISON SKY The Movie

SHORT SYNOPSIS
Fresh from his residency program, Dr. David Gibson takes off for a small town in Arizona to spend a few relaxing weeks with his fiancée, Samantha Grey. But shortly after he arrives, he is pulled into a growing series of events resulting from mysterious illnesses, and even deaths, of the
fine citizens of this quaint town.

David discovers a small amount of a green gooey substance caught in the hair of a young child… her reaction to the effects of the substance brings her close to the brink of death. As he researches the source of this chemical mixture, more citizens of the town come forward with similar medical crisis.

His fiancé, attorney Samantha Grey, calls on the resources of the law firm where she works. But even the esteemed Judge in town seems to shut down their theories at every turn. Determined to find the truth, they are shocked to find similar situations worldwide.

Their search catches the attention of a secret society, whose members will do anything to keep their agendas hidden and their purposes on track. The head of the organization has global ties that go back generations. Their clandestine methods have no boundaries. Did David and Samantha stumble onto proof of the sinister intent of the group? Are the various governments a part of a global conspiracy? If so, what is their ultimate goal?
