    The real question is, how can we get Kevin Sorbo, Bruce Campbell and Steve Buscemi together in a movie about a team of time-travelling, misfit vigilante superheros? #kevinsorbo

    When the dog begins to transform the kid just stands there cowering. I'd have been three blocks away and still running by the time it finished. #kevinsorbo

    Met Sorbo at Calgary Comic Expo a few years back and he was really great. Very friendly, happy to have his picture taken, and totally willing to chat for a minute or two with everyone in line. #kevinsorbo

    You know, Kevin Sorbo is a lot better an actor than people give him credit for. I remember him doing a guest stint on that mildly entertaining sitcom Dharma and Greg years ago and played a nice flirty professor who hits on the main chick not realizing she's married. (If memory serves)

    Completely bought him as that even though Hercules was still fresh on the brain. It's too bad no one will give him a romantic comedy to do. I think he'd do quite well in it. #kevinsorbo

    Whatever happened to that show io9 reported that was supposed to star Kevin Sorbo as some sort of Illuminati assassin with compartmentalized personalities that start to fracture? Or was that a fever dream? #kevinsorbo

    I had an unnaturally strong school girl crush on Sorbo circa 1997.

    At times like this, my lady parts think it's still 1997. #kevinsorbo

    "You really do have to admire Sorbo's willingness to poke fun at himself, screaming into the phone about his lousy ratings and then turning on a dime to hit on the random chick who gets his autograph."

    Excuse me, how is Sorbo poking fun at himself by doing this? Is he a well known flirt with autograph chicks, and a well known screaming into phones when ratings are low?

    @Charlie Jane Anders:

    I remember when they were filming Hercules in NZ, and when I was just a young naive little christian, Kevin Sorbo used to go my friends church with his family.

    He was actually really cool. He had a really gracious attitude - nothing like an egotistical jerk at all.
    I was really surprised, because you'd think that someone who was playing the semi invincible son of a God (who goes to church!) would have superior notions of himself. #kevinsorbo

    @Jeremy Tapsell: That's good to hear. I should stress that I know nothing whatsoever about what Kevin Sorbo is like personally. I almost met him at Comic Con last year, but didn't get to. #kevinsorbo

    I used to feel and still kinda do that Kevin Sorbo would've made a good Superman. He had the face and physique back then to pull it off. As he's gotten older i'm not so sure anymore. #kevinsorbo

    @cwatson71: According to his wikipedia entry,

    "He was considered for and lost out to Dean Cain as Superman in Lois and Clark: The New Adventures of Superman and was a possible contender for the role of Agent Mulder in The X Files which went to David Duchovny." #kevinsorbo
