The past and present of Kevin Sorbo, the eternal Hercules

Actor Kevin Sorbo became known through the American television series 'Hercules: The Legendary Journey', in which he played the title character.

Produced between 1995 and 1999, the series lasted six seasons, but Kevin's debut as Hercules had already taken place in 1994 in the TV movie 'Hercules and the Amazons'.

That was the first of a saga of five films, which led to the production of the successful series of the mythical Greek character, in the second half of the 1990s.
