Kevin Sorbo, most recognized for his starring role in the critically acclaimed television series, “Hercules: The Legendary Journey,” is strong in more ways than one. While performing in the show that made him a household name, Sorbo trained in the gym every day for six hours, no matter how far into the night filming took him. Workout after workout, his physique became the embodiment of awesome physical strength. But his inner strength comes from a different place.
Sorbo grew up in Mound, Minnesota, where his mother worked as a nurse, and his father taught junior high. At the time, Mound was a tight-knit community surrounded by bays, lakes, and sledding hills, and most notable as the birthplace of the Tonka Truck. Living in this Midwestern city was a very down-to-earth upbringing that Sorbo deeply appreciated; he credits it for his outstanding work ethic and strong moral character.
