Kevin Sorbo had his shot as a lead actor in a big film called “Kull the Conqueror.”

Um, no. That's kiddie punk entertainment drivel, not a class movie.

Sorbo has done some very good movies. I suspect they aren't your "type" of entertainment.

No need to get hostile or personal. You simply cannot dispute that “Kull the Conqueror,” whatever its genre or intended audience, was a big studio, big-budget, highly-promoted film in the vein (they hoped) of “Conan the Barbarian.” If it had been successful, Sorbo would have been offered the lead in other big studio films. It wasn’t, so he wasn’t.

By the way, Schwarzenegger built Conan — his own “kiddie punk” film debut — into a hugely successful film career, despite being a conservative, despite being a terrible actor, arguably much worse than Sorbo.

So why didn’t Hollywood blackball him? Because Arnold’s movies Make. Money. Tons and tons of money. That’s the only political affiliation Hollywood cares about.

And I like Sorbo. I especially liked him in “Meet the Spartans.” I think he’s off base when he blames his career woes on his religion.
