A chiselled jawline and a godly build, perhaps you knew Kevin Sorbo from his iconic role as the Greek mythical demigod hero in the beloved ‘90s series, Hercules: The Legendary Journeys.
Many of us grew up watching the TV actor, and with the recent premiere of God’s Here (2024), the 66-year-old star is proving he’s far from running out of fuel.
Interestingly, the drama film, inspired by true events, also includes the actor’s son, Shane Haaken Sorbo, in his feature screen debut. Here’s everything you should know about the Hercules actor’s son.
